Popped up to Stuarts on Wednesday which aquired me a new fuel tank, some ally chequer plate and some bonnet pins! Thankls bud :dankk2:
Well, back in the garage after a week or so of lazyness, and i can feel it too, im aching like a biatch today! I had the fun task of removing the last of the stubborn nuts and bolts holding all the front suspension on, but after a lot of huffing and puffing, got it all off. That enabled me to get some paint on the tie bars, and get the TCA's ready to be welded into corsda style box sections.
I also decided to get the bonnet pins fitted, which means i can now remove the bloody bonnet and tailgate which were starting to get on my tits when trying to do other jobs! Also fitted pins to the front bumper, but decided against the rear as I cant see any reason for them due to it being fiberglass. I appear to have got all the panel gaps pretty much spot on so im quite chuffed!

Next job on the list is fit the fuel tank (might do that today if I can be ****d) and remove the panels and bumpers for painting. I also need to scrape some funds together so i can fit the engine!
Looking good, however I will annoy you by saying that your car will now fold in on itself because you cut the slam panel out. Im bored of hearing it myself about mine lmfao
lol, yeah, the whole cars structure is held together by a piss thin bit of bendy metal! You have to laugh!
yeah well thats what all the "top" people on my local krooze site think, they reckon that because their dads uncles brother 3000bhp skyline has got a 5 inch think solid titanium slam panel which is part of the cradle for the engine. And therefore my corsa must obey the same rules, all it does is hold the bonnet down an it doesnt even do a good job of that lmfao. Also removing the plastic inner arches means that when i boot it the turrets fold in together.
