My ....out there.....Corsa B

[rems]

well thought i might put up a wip of my corsa b

its not to everybodies taste but i build a car for me not anybody else, as i would imagine everybody does

i have gone down the bosozoku route as its different and i love the style

so here it is...i have copied and pasted from another forum to save me the time of retyping it all

its a 1.6 corsa b sport, has been lowered all round, back box, alloys, lex ARSE lights, angle headlights and KnN filter
these are the pics of how it looked the day i bought it





as you can see it needs a bit of work, rust in places which is soon to be sorted out but for £600 i cant really complain
so far i have debardged it, gave it a bloody good polish, put an old set of tinted l.e.d rear lights which need re-tinting
first was this




used sharpe pens but have touched it up and looks alot better
fitted the mirrors
had to smooth the backing plate and re-drill the hole to fit so here they are




however they are rather small, smaller then i thought lol
pics of the engine cover and a bit extra i did today polished and painted the inlet manifold



window tints

and steering wheel



smooth front and rear bumper, de wipered and under bonnet work!
i smoothed the front and rears myself and sprayed the bonnet, boot, arches, side skirts and bumpers myself
well heres the pics




[/quote]

on went the new alloys



they are league retro star alloys
then it failed its MOT epicly and had to replace the rear, rebuild the rear arches and fit a new drivers side sill
only have a pic of the back end after i cut it out



but the rear is all back together how it should be but i have a bit of an issue as to the fact that the rear lights have moved out from the boot so that the boot edge is about half inch to and inch from the light :shock:
and i have fitted the new arches and painted the calipers


after i re-built the back end







so decided that the interior was looking a bit bland as corsa's are so re-trimed the roof lining (first time i have ever done anythink like this so its not perfect but im happy with it) had a bit of help from my nan

also resprayed the plastic trim matte black and added heart and silver star stickers (with the help of the missus)

and heres the out come







BONNET WRAP DONE

will let the pics talk for themself





well pics of how its standing





wheels spaced out better

fronts



rears need a bit more space



but going to get another set of arches which wont be as wide and the wheels will have a bit of poke .....and not forgetting to mention will be carbon wraped

have now got myself some front coilovers and adjustable rears

a pair of 32mm spacers being made

[rems]

and a new drivers seat







from an RX7 FD3S but now need a passenger seat.....if anybody knows of one being sold let me know

well headlight covers came in the post today so had to fit them and take pics to share with Y'ALL........and it looks EVIL imo

in the words of agro santos "me likey like"





right i have been a bit busy retrimmed my A pillars in carbon wrap and done a bit of graffiti on them







them cabon wrapped the boot release thing (dont know the name lol) did crinkle abit due to the shape



have also carbon wrapped my arches but as the wrap wasnt wide enough i had to do it in 2-3 pieces, not that noticable until you look up close! havent got pics of them atm due to the car being filthy

oh and just a tease

NEW SPACERS



carbon wrapped the b pillars, i found the trick to good wrapping is a hairdryer



was going to do a bit of stickerbombing on them but decided not to



had a couple of stickers that i wanted to use but i couldnt find the best place to stick them



then fitter A pillars and B pillars





now i cant decide what to do with the center console as doesnt really go with what i have done so far this is how it looks



an ideas? carbon wrapping it is more difficult due to the gap where the clock is as cant really leave the inside plain

then i gave it a fooking good clean as i havent in a while









also carbon wrapped the arches need to rero them though



well last night as i pulled out of a parking space my bottom ball joint snapped was lucky it happened at work as the day before i done a 300 mile drive from camberidge to devon, if it happened on the motorway god knows what would have a happened, also due to the fact nothing was holding my wheel steady when it was put onto th back of the lorry my wings got damaged and pulled the drive shaft out and ripped my inner CV boot

heres the pics







damage wing





have managed to get the wing as best as i could and whilst i was doing it i came up with a lil idea and set to work.......bit of graffiti



not finished

[rems]

have now finished the front wing

heres the pics (all done by hand) just needs laquer













car is now back together and wing is fitted with a bit more work done to keep with the grim reaper

heres the pics





i had got a new front splitter off a trans am, well i fitted and look rude as **** however i had a bit of an incident as to which i bottomed out and it ended up wrapped under the car smashed to pieces :x :cry:

however i played around with it abit to make it work as would have been a waste of money not to atleast try, it did have vents in it but these got damaged when i caught it so have came up with this



im not sure if it looks right? also i dont know if it will look better if i cut the original splitter off? what do people think?

more updates to come soon

[Method3288]

I really evaluate the art work ... keep it up mate !

[Kev_G]

actually something i like about this. I bloody love the wheels and your art work is brilliant. The interior with stars everywhere is a bit naff for me and the splitter with headlights id lose but i like it tbh

[V37_Redtop]

Certinately is 1 of a kind that's for sure lol, it's all about modifying it how you want it!!

[Alex.r]

Not my cup of tea but you have to appreciate the time effort you've put in mate keep it up!

[Benn]

Looks much better with the wheels spaced out, wheels are arches are cool. Carbon wrap good, sticker bombing sucks ass.

[rems]

well heres the rest of the updates to the point its at atm

gave the car a wash and fitted new splitter from a mk2 golf












also removed the heart and star stickers off the dash



and 32mm spacers came in the post yesturday







£80 well spent i think

well finally got round to fitting the RX7 seats, was a bit of a pain in the arse job but here is how they look







next on the list is

respray front and rear bumper and boot

depo standard headlights and add a bit of a twist

fit custom exhaust tips

fit 52mm rear spacers

and the car is sitting in my garage feeling sorry for itself as the piston rings are fooked so have sorced a replacement engine then ones the ****ed on is out i will be stripping it down and rebuilding it to tune with port and polish, forged pistons, kent cams, bike carbs, mappable ecu lightened flywheel

have been respraying the boot and rear bumpers aswell but has been a pain in the arse as the paint reacted for some reason so will spray it the best i can and then off to get a full respray as the paint is not in the best condition due to previous owners not looking after it

thanks for the comments i know its not to everybodies taste but wierdly most people seem to like it in a strange sort of way due to it being different and the time i have put into it lol

keep the comments coming

[corsakristian]

i like the fact you put a lot of work in to it but i dont like it personally lol as long as you do though mate! keep doing what your doing it is different thats for sure

[Benn]

32mm spacers? Dude just get wider rear wheels!

[rems]

32mm spacers? Dude just get wider rear wheels!

52mm on the rear

have a couple of other wheels lined up atm just got to sort out funds ect as need new engine and have another project car on the go

[dopey]

not sure what to make of this one, the outside looks alright but the inside is a bit OTT for me, wouldn't fancy dropping an acid in there lol but each to their own

[Joker]

haha dopey! - My mrs clocked the stars on the roof and thought it was funky, There's a lot of work gone into that mate, your art skills are top notch! It's definitely different but not how I would have my car.

[myredtop]

love the bonnet mate good work done on the car fella keep it up defo 1 of a kind
scott

[rems]

cheers for the comments peeps

im keeping the outside murdered out and evil looking and the inside will be the complete opposite lairy colours and bright kind of like a jekyll and hyde

will update soon once i have sorted out engine and got the boot on

had issues with the boot and bumpers where the paint reacted so sprayed them using cans so done the best i can to last until the car gets a full respray

[ledgejigsaw]

definately a marmite car i think, but aslong as you like it

[rems]

yea it gets alot of mixed reactions

well this is my recent purchase

chrome / wood steering wheel,mahogany very good cond. on eBay (end time 05-Jun-11 18:21:29 BST)

was buying another 2 different steering wheels but i was outbid

all comments welcome as usuall

[dewismotorsport]

Well at least you won't see another one like it at PVS, what arches are they?

[V37_Redtop]

Hmm that steering wheel will look interesting lol

[rems]

dunno if im going to be at pvs due to needing to fit new engine which hope to be here by the weekend fingers crossed

arches are just universal jdm ones like on the drift cars

yea i know not sure if its going to work or not, if it doesnt can always sell it on

[rems]

right updates and alot of them

well this is what i have been upto lately well while the car was off the road with a blown engine just havent got round to getting pics up

to start i retrimmed the A,B and C pillars in the same material as the roof







also added abit of wood vinyl



retrimmed my dials and where the air bag would be infront of the passenger





will be redoing these in wood vinyl to match the new steering wheel (havent got any pics)

and then i got bored with the boot there were alot of problems doing this as the paiint reated when i sprayed it with my paint gun so ended up spraying it using a can but will be getting the whole car resprayed when i have the money as the paint work is not in a great condition i will let the pics talk for themself















and the result i got from rattle can's not to bad considering







as said does need respray

and then redone the wheel center caps



all comments welcome as usual
