Everyone seems to have progress threads so i though i would knock one together and keep adding to it. I have posted some pics before but there all scattered about.
It started out like this back in Aug 2007. It cost me a tatty Corsa GSi and had about 84'000 miles on it. It had about 16 previous owners and came with a whole heap of problems, not loved at all but most importantly reasonably solid body wise.
I sorted the bodywork out with a new bumper and grill and replacement bonnet and passenger door. Once i had gone a bit mental with sorting out the dents and scabs etc there really was no other option but to send it to the painters. Also chucked on a set of original alloys.
Shortly after it had another bumper and intercooler from Bob @ CGB's Silver R5 and the rear end lowered to match the front. Currently looks like this and is showing 115'000miles.
I have broke a few things along the way, here are two of the best.
Current spec is as follows.
T25 .49 @ 16PSI manifold.
Scorpion S/S exhaust.
Carb adjusted to suit.
Cone filter.
Uprated clutch.
FMIC.
Cylinder head adapted to take M.....8 (silly text speak police :lol: )rocker shaft bolts (more of a fix then anything else)
'Cup mod' for actuator pipework and oil breathers.
Wideband.
Aftermarket boost, oil temp, oil pressure gauges.
Braided brake pipes.
It's currently awaiting surgery, the crankcase is cracked on one of the waterways so i will get a picture of that as well.
