Hi, I'm new to this forum and i got a car two days ago, well another car. Now its time to slam her. This one is high at the moment but as soon as i take that ten bag off her she'll soon fall.

Here she is:








Keep an eye out, the coilovers are in the post. 3-5 working days

Needs new headlights as these are broken and new bumpers. Great little run around while i finish the big project.

Looks like the misses car.

[Jakey57]

lol, buy her something nice for her birthday.

repainted the bumpers today, made hell of a difference.
still waiting on the postman for the coilovers and as I'm unemployed I'll keep the steelies for a while. Just paint them up nicely.

Do I keep the side trims and badges or do I vanish them?

[stinkinrich]

Looks way to mediocre to have all that time, money and effort thrown at it to make it just a little better.

Whats the big project you speak of? Maybe put the time and money on that instead?

I hope the big project is worth driving this as a daily

All that time and effort? What time and effort, the project is taking a long ass time as finding the parts is the hard bit. its still the same car, a corsa b, but a 2.1l twin turbo 4wd project. and its about 100 miles up the road.. Not easily accessible. I'll make a profit on her even with chucking all of 100 pounds into her

[Jakey57]

Painted the bumpers yesterday, and made a quick photoshop of the rough hight i will be getting.

[Jakey57]

ok, going to take her to get her engine bay steam cleaned, then i'll see properly what im dealing with under the bonnet

[JonnyBoi]

Don't mind B's. Can look quite good.

[pecs]

What engine you got in or going to put in.

[Jakey57]

its a 1.2 8v, my other is a c20let.
i hope to make this one look good..

[Jakey57]

Not sure if low enough.. :/

[Jakey57]

could deffo do with more lows

[Jakey57]

the rear is no where near low enough

[ratmog]

Quit parking under my car.

[Jakey57]

Just a little update as she is my daily not much happens to her, but shes now has a bonnet bra, and i took the lights apart and sprayed them black inside. And cleaned her.







The exhaust is coming off, and going to be coming out the front bumper..
So I can go lower on the back, without too many problems.

[Jakey57]

Any suggestion on wheels? They can't be too expensive as i'm a student, but stuck on what would suit the car.. :/ any ideas guys?

[Jorge]

Anyting quite flat faces, less spokes. You need to bin that bra though.

Well the bonnet is bent, and really horribly rusty underneath, i'll leave it on there as rather get wheels than a new bonnet :/

got my eye on these atm, but just a tad outta price range so really cheap ass wheels needed.

Went with him to the exhaust place today. Somebody buy me some f'kin earmuffs!!!!

[Jakey57]

yup, comes off the manifold straight out the side of the front bumper

[Jakey57]

Had to make a makeshift silencer, so i put that in, didn't have a big enough bolt... so i meshed the end instead.

Only til i get a big enough bolt

[Jakey57]

[Jakey57]

Any tips on wire tucking it? she's a bit busy for a tiny engine
