Re: Corsa C20Xe track Prep

interior is now coming out and bucket seats going in


seats are in just need to do some stripping out now





passenger seat sits low so the centre of gravity is low.
Work done at Castlepark Autobody in Ellon and very happy with the work that went into fitting them

www.geocities.com/castleparkellon
















and then all the deadening from the floor in one handy bag

Still lots to take off and do like spray clean up
from www.ears.co.uk at about £90


Arrived this morning

quite a lot i still need to do but it will be an ongoing project over the Winter. Still not sure what suspension to get for the front. Wanted Leda but struggling to find them

Re: Corsa C20Xe track Prep

Thanks a lot guys, i'm down to just doing a few little bits for its MOT next month now but once i have a bit more time and cash i will be getting some other stuff sorted. Not bothering with the engine just now as i want to get it handling well to be honest, so next step will be some kind of front suspension. I'm happy with the Bilstein a the back but not at the front, really want leda but a bit too much money for me so in need of something worth while for track use. Any suggestions welcome
