UPDATE ON CORSA

Picked it up today and when I was in town I got some pads for the front set off to do them and forgot it need disk
Also I have order a set of lower springs and shocks I went with 60mm cause 40mm didn't look much different a new clock with rev counter as mine as none and doesn't work will be doing the MCM with the shift light in the clock some cool blue LEDS for all the cabin lights cause none work. I also have worth a list of things to buy in the next few weeks need to get it though a test

Here are some better pictures

Corsa update
Plans always change I ordered 60mm lowering spring instead of 40mm there where the same price so I said hell why not and the Wind deflectors I ordered aren't available any more they offered me other brand which I have used and hate so I said no.

Well another update there would be pictures but the camera cable as gone walk about again so far I am waiting for parts to come in which should be here next week so I did other job.
I took all the plastic trim out of the boot on the driver side to fix the missing thing for the shock to hold the boot open only to discover you can't get behind the panel pictures will make it clearer so I had a look in my odd bits boxes and found a set old Nissan Micra boot shocks and made them fit only got to bolt it down.
We all need a radio well mine is going to be fun all the wires where cut and are very hard to get at so I will make a new radio loom over the next few days and tape the old one up.

In other news I will be killing my cat he broke the grill which was just holding on by one plastic clip so this mean time to get a new one with out the badge

Cool little opel! My uncle had a Opel Kadett back in the 90's, I think it was like an 86'' or something. It really started my love of cars.

I'd love to see that Opel slammed, I think it would look epic on some wide RS's

[Camper Damper]

Slamming won't happen on my roads but a 60mm drop all round and the alloys of my old starlet in black of coarse should give the slammed look

[Camper Damper]

So some pictures
Front disk gone and still waiting on new ones don't worry the the caliper is not hanging there its resting on a wheel and as sicen been bolt to the car

No wonder why it wouldn't stop the other side was metal

The boot holding its self up

Now with a Nissan part

All this rain as made my yard look bad half is grass the rest is gravel and some of those hole are deep enough to get my camper to sit on the ground

Corsa update

Been with out a car of any sort is turning me mad been talk to the cat all day he as yet to answer me. But my mum who was in town picked my car parts up so now I have 2 front disks track rod ends and a back box to crack on with

[Camper Damper]

Changed all my clock bulb's to blue and it looks way nicer now.

[Camper Damper]

Well the Corsa is now insured and booked for its NCT on the 2nd of Feb

What as happened to the car well New disks and pads track rod ends gone into the front cleaned it washed it and then drove 400 miles in it to and from my dads house nibble little car to me remember I drove a 3ton van before not the best handling but I think the lack of tread on the wheels may be the problem there not going to put on the Chevette wheels till the the tracking is done as it is not right yet and I'm still waiting for parts for the suspension which should be here in the morning.

So this weekend going to England to my sisters place which is in Southend-on-Sea England and Google Maps say its 856km one way and should take me 11 hours we will see So if any one see a Irish reg black Corsa at the side of the road say HI

Update on Corsa
First this the corsa came with no rev clock and no working clock so I picked up this clock

Which I didn't like the black dial face so I order this

On the clock

And for some odd reason none in the car

Now the fun bit my new shocks and spring came in a big GLS van this morning he got lost finding me but that always happing so I went a head and took out the old shocks and spring out and set about bring this car nearer to mother earth

First I did the back only to find my spring claps didn't fit so I jacked the car up then hopped into it and removed the top shock bolt and let the stock spring fly and fly they

Before I know the plastic arch is looking crap but soon I will sort it

During no rot or rust

After that looks better

The front

Before

During not new disk and pads and track rod end see all new stuff in one picture I spoil you all

Some camber bolts to help with the wheels I plan to run

After with the wheel I will be using I don't think my shoe will fit in there dose rub a bit ok a lot with this wheels but its only the plastic arch

And to top it all of I had my boss watching me the Cat Mr. Squeezy and no he still hasn't answer me yet

Well I'm back for an update Corsa back box is fixed and all the blown lights are fixed also the Chevette wheel are on it and it handles a lot better may be down to the fact they have some rubber also the chevette wheels make the car look like it is a rally car may be the fact that there silver and in your face

Now where did I go to well my good old Dell of 4 or 5 years crashed again it as been very very unreliably from day one but after a few weeks it comes back to life again which it always do I'm now going to by Sony laptop some time this year

[Camper Damper]
