Building a Corsa C C20XE 1600cc Rally Car

[fearless]

Not much of an update - just a few more pictures to keep you all happy

Progress has almost come to a halt - lack of an engine is holding us up

Our other project (Chevette) however is taking shape - will update that thread after weekend after we have fitted the engine


The Corsa is a little further on than these pictures show - so I will take some upto date pictures and post soon



Front Proflex canisters secured in place





Along with the rears






Handbrake lever extended by Ally Tig Welding in an extension piece to bring lever into easy reach - all repainted now












Tinted polycarb fitted

Corsa's under a sheet at the moment while we press on with the Chevette

Bloody hell Dave I forgot you had this, are you saving Vauxhalls in your unit just to make them collectors items

Must admit this will be awesome once built... whats the crack with the engine though???

Also when did you last blow the cobwebs of that Nova of yours then

[bazil]

Did the engine for this ever get built? Would love to see it finished

[peester]

Dave

did you have to do much modification to the the dash to fit round the roll cage. I am about to start building a c for road rallying but want to have the cage run behind the dash and didn't know if you had problems with this.

Great car by the way

Dash took a bit of time to fit - lots of fitting and taking out to trim a bit more off

Only had to trim round the 'A' pillar of the cage as we had removed all the heater box to save weight and replaced with a small light weight fan/heater

It's very tight to get back in but we don't plan on taking it out again

[James1]

cheers for that would the heater not have fitted then?

[fearless]

Factory heater box did fit but very big and bulky so binned it for a light weight one
