Hi all, I started this build thread over on AC and the time has come to transfer it over.
"Bridget" is at present a 1.4 16v (x14xe) Corsa B Sport I bought back in March 2011 after my original Corsa, a lowly 1.0 12v 'Sting' edition, suffered a seized engine following a front end shunt and subsequent repair.
This is how she stood back in March 2011...
And this is how she stands as of August 2013...
My current plans are:
External
Paint and fit GSI body kit, Irmscher rear valance, third brake light spoiler and M3 mirrors (In Progress)
Tint and fit GSI fog lights (Upcoming)
Replace tailgate and repair/respray rust spots (Upcoming)
Internal
Fit Vectra B three spoke steering wheel with audio controls (In Progress)
Electrical
Install auxiliary fuse box (In Progress)
Wire in sub and amp (In Progress)
Install kick panel courtesy lights (Upcoming)
Upgrade to remote central locking (Upcoming)
Wire in Vectra B steering wheel audio controls (In Progress)
Divert additionally installed wiring through auxiliary fuse box (Upcoming)
Assemble and install fog light loom (Upcoming)
Repair wiring on heated passenger seat (Upcoming)
Mechanical
Strip down, rebuild and install c20xe + F16 gearbox and ancillaries required for it to run (Upcoming)
Misc.
Refurbish spare Cavalier slab (Upcoming)
Fully underseal chassis (Upcoming)
I've often had to work with a limited budget but the plan is to build up an OEM+ Corsa that's a bit of a sleeper. In the last two years I've put a fair amount of effort into this project and so I'm always happy to receive comments, criticism and feedback on the progress, and modifications, I've made.
