Corsa B X20XEV - My First Project

[bluecorsab]

i am just trying to fit the dash so as it looks original and not a bodge job like all the others i have seen, the rest of the build has been done to a high standard so why cut corners now??, but at the end of the day its my PROJECT and when finished will be an achievement as it was a bog standard car when i started.

it might not be to your taste but there is more satifaction getting stuck in and doing something like this than being sponsored by autoglym

[bluecorsab]

bit of an update

finally got my dash in an working after a bit of head scratching trying to work out why some things were not working as they should do

couldnt get the indicators to work properly, then when i did the hazards were flasing the main beam light instead of the indicator lights fixed quite a few faults along the way lmao

but its 90% the way there, just got to test the speedo and thats about it

took a few pictures when i got it working, was well chuffed when i sorted it lmao

some of them are from when it was dark as i was doing it for most of the day



my dad sorted the milage counter out for me





also ive sourced some corsa gsi shafts off a fellow migweb member, just need to get some mk2 cav inner cv's now

thats about it for now

cheers

Yes im loving that mate. Looks the business that does, all that hard work has payed off by the looks of it. Very happy for you mate. Keep it up

[bluecorsab]

cheers mate, it does look pretty good, especially when its dark

[bluecorsab]

got the dash fitted today







also got the front ARB put back on, sadly no pictures, but you all know what a front ARB looks like lmao

thats it for now

cheers

[Liam1805]

Now we talking lol. That looks super mate. Did you do the heater panel yourself in silver mate or did it come like that. Whats up next now then seems as you have done the dash mate ??

[bluecorsab]

did the dash panel myself as it was boggy boring black also had the clock front done in silver but a bit difficult to do on this one being all one bit. just waiting now for courier to bring my driveshafts then we can see about getting this thing to movelmao

[seanr28]

[bluecorsab]

well thought it was time to update with what ive been past few days

Sundays Work

started work on the facelift bumpers

sanded down the rear bumper and filled in bad patches with filler, then smoothed with 800 grit wet & dry

here it is after a coat of primer





then wet & dryed again lmao

its now ready for top coat

then set too the front bumper

managed to get it sanded down and wet & dryed ready for primer





Todays Work





did a few quick photshops of the front bumper as i cant make my mind up how i want it lmao

colour coded with black grill and splitter??



or black on the top with black grill and splitter?? (kind of standard look)



the black parts would be done in satin black not gloss

opinions would be nice

either way the arches will get sprayed to match the tops of the bumpers

cheers

[Liam1805]

I would choose colour coded all day long mate. Will look lovely, just leave the splitter black like in the photoshop you done. Keep up the good work mate

[bluecorsab]

well i really cant make my mind up im swaying more towards colour coded now though lmao

[dearing5]

defo colour coded!!

[corsaXEV_chris]

because you are using the facelift bumpers IMO colourcoded, nice job with the bumpers aswell!!

EDIT

oh got the XEV started cheesin!! lol

[Gaz86]

aw you painted over the rubber you plonker!! lmao

seriously though take off the rubber strip and redo the bumper or it'll flake straight away, then just use back to black on a normal rubber piece and fit it after the bumper is painted.

[bluecorsab]

err the splitter isnt rubber and it is part of the bumper and wont come off. all later ones are like that

[Gaz86]

WHAT? no ****ING WAY!!! lmaolmaolmao that's me told

my 99 sport was removable thought all GM bumpers were.

[bluecorsab]

so did i mate it comes off the origional bumper but not this one i even checked another at the scrappys and it was the same as this one, probably vauxhalls answer to stop them falling offlmao

[Liam1805]

I think it must just be on selected ones, as my my mates is removable and the one on my car is not removable. Dont know why some are and some aint though haa.
