My "cough" Corsa "cough" project
Thought id put it on here as despit owning a vauxhall its my favorite section on any site, thought some of you may appricate it as its not the typical corsa owner thing to do
my 16v expired the day before PVS, decide to take the engine out and tody up the bay
What it looked like together in its most current guise

Some more shit removed
New tank and lines will go in at some point
No rust here
Next step is to prob now get the engine bay and underneath sandblasted, gonna be expensive to get it done right, but want it 100%

Nice 1 mate. I like my corsa's also. Mines a diesel not not petrol though .I fitted a cavalier 1700 turbo diesel into a 1700 diesel corsa a few month back. I bought it originaly with a knackered headgasket but binned the engine in favour of the cavy engine. It goes really well yet still really good on fuel.

Yeah that was me then, LOL
I was off with the GF to see her nan, she lives in a residential home at Longfield 
You'll have to pop along to one of the Thursday meets that the ragit people hold at bluewater, some really nice cars go over there now, not so much of this big bodykits and 1.2 engines!!
