Hello from Poland!
Firstly, sorry for the mistakes in my language
I'm reading forum for a long time and now I've decided to describe my car here.
It's 1,2 8v (X12SZ) Corsa B from 1996. I'm working on it for 2,5 year, but first year was doing some repairs, like replacing old, cutted springs with new, stock ones, removing rust from the tailgate and reapiring front fender. Most work has been done over the past 1,5 years.
Here's how the car looked like shortly after purchase. Yep! There were flowers on the bonnet
So, let's start the photostory.
Without flowers, on stock spring. The starting point for some modifications.
Painting front bumper with my mate.
With painted bumper, hood and with Depo headlights.
I decided to replace old steeringwheel with the after-lifting one.
I started this year with new set of wheels and -40mm Ta-Technix springs.
From the beginning I wanted to buy a GSi front bumper, but in Poland they are usually expensive. But one day I found a really cheap one in my town, and the next day it was mine
I bought it with original fog lights, but without lip and grille. As it turned out, GSi lip was more expensive than the whole bumper, but, such is life The fog lights are covered with yellow film and ther's done electric installation for them.
The most recent pics of actual setup, a day before changin wheels for winter ones.
This is how it looks now, winter setup
Before/after comparison.
I still have a lot of plans for my Corsa. The biggest one is engine swap, but the problem is money. I'm thinking about 1,6 8v. Another idea is interior from Corsa GSi/Sport, but buying interior in good condition is almost impossible in Poland. I want to buy replicas of Steinterz sideskirts. And probably something more There is also a bit of bodywork repairs to be done under the car.
I'm waiting for your comments, opinions, etc. Cheers!
