Default Quick moment of Corsa madness

After a quick cleaning session last monday, which consisted of a quick back 2 black session, we came up with the stupid idea of giving my corsa a full respray.
The poor old 1.4 LS Corsa, had a couple of small scrapes and dents as most 10 year old cars do. Needed a bit of a tidy up so we decided to start work on Friday.
The only place we could find was in my shed full of cob, dust and bugs so obviously spraying wasn't the easiest thing to do.

Friday 15:00.

The main stripping of the cars bumpers etc began....



Along with the interior stripped



Then after spraying the inside matt black, the sanding and filling started....

After preparing the rest of the body on saturday and spraying a bit of primer again, today (sunday) we started to shoot some colour....









So now we have just got to let it dry properly, reassemble it and then mop over and our little weekend super change will be complete.

Spraying the black at 2 in the morning with 1 light and more bugs than you could shake a stick at. Not the best conditions but hey, anything for a laugh

a gsi wrap around spoiler will finish it off and make it look alot better, can pick them up for around a 10a so worth it imo to make it look better when your selling it..

id keep it and stick a let in it..
