here we have my corsa gsi
its 1993 L reg in carabic blue
i got it a few weeks ago with suspected head gasket failure, only to find, a hole in number 3 piston, head gasket blown to bits and terminal damage to the head! i still have the original head in the shed, it looked very sorry for itself
basically ive fitted a new piston in number 3 ( all the pistons are 0.5mm oversized) new rings for all the pistons, all bores re honed, new shells fitted( 0.25mm oversized), new water pump, new tensioners and timing belt, a brand new head from vauxhall 16 new valves, valve guides tappets, cams etc new head gasket, engine is fitted with a new clutch, and 2 new front tyres, new discs and pads! also has a piper cross air filter and samco connecting hose, its had new plugs, leads, oil filter and oil, also brand new radiator fitted, engine runs fine no eml , no smokes or taps
exhaust is completly standard, still has cat fitted
its lowered on apex 60mm springs and what looks like std shocks though this is questionable as the ride is quite stiff so maybe uprated shocks but not 100% no markings on them!
i have fitted a new tailgate whihc is MINT AND RUST free, a new bonnet
the shell is mint only been welded once on the drivers side front chassis rail
Bad points
the front bumper has damage due to the previus owner hitting the wall driving on to his drive, i ve currently held it on, on the corners with cable ties, the fog lights work, the front drivers side headlight bracket is slightly bent whihc is noticable in the pictures from an angle, beam allignment is still ok, few dents in the body work nothing to major
it is a 14year old car after all
also the temp gauge on the dash does not work, due a broken signal wire whihc i havent been able to trace yet, so as a temporary measure i ve stolen a gauge out of my ka turbo and wired it up so i can keep an eye on the temps it sits nicely at around 85-88degrees
as it should
