First things first i got rid of those 13" steelies for these

[Domwhitex]

Got a new stereo in there as the old one it was locked with a code and i couldnt unlock it!



Picture with the alloys on!

[Domwhitex]

Replaced the water pump and cam belt but oh yeah as its a cast iron block and an alloy water pump and had been in there for almost 21 years it was almost welded in there took 6 hours of smashing it out ended up putting an sds hammer drill on it! Then when i put the new one in i forgot to clear the water lines and when i turned it over the new ones fins were all chewed off to say i was annoys was an understatement!
Fitting a new one and it ran beautifully after a full service i did to!

[Domwhitex]

Then i bought all these still only fitted half of them!


These were a nightmare to fit ill never take this apart again if i can help it! Two screws here i had to pull it out as possible and get my arm behind it with a tiny screwdriver!

[Domwhitex]

Bought this to but the fogs are being removed as cables cut and brackets snapped and weak from rust, so ill just get a bottom grille and swap em over but waiting for the good weather to apray my bumpers and get the debadged grill for this and also need to debadge everything and derubstrip it to when the weathers abit better

[Domwhitex]

Also forgot got this to spray aswell when i get a spare day thats nice gonna proper bolt it on instead of glueing

Basically you need some clocks from a 4 cylinder corsa petrol, make sure the other set of clocks have the same code written on it, its also probably worth taking your current clocks out and looking to see if there is a green wire going to the plug in the dash where the clocks sit

That's a cable driven speedo...ones with tachs were pretty rare...probably still are tbf, but relatively easy to swap :-) when you get the dials out, check to see if the cable for the tach is on the loom (green cable) if it's not you can run a wire from some point in the ECU plug...there's a well written guide on here


Edit:

My reply took too long to write

[Domwhitex]

Alright thanks guys! Now to find those dials and preferably with the same sort of miles

[Domwhitex]

Also to fit these into the car, for the footwells on each side going off the remote wire and earth off the back of the stereo a good idea or is there a better way? Its my first encounter with car wiring but apprentice electrician is my daily job

[Michael]

I wired mine to a switch that I put under the heater controls :-) you could wire it to the lights so it comes on when they do? That'd be easy enough too...though, you will want to extend the wire

Was looking for the modern car look in my uncles st he has a constant red glow in his footwell thats what i was trying to replicate
Like even when hes driving is there anywhere else i could wire to for that?
