Genuine 5dr Irmscher spoiler for her, bargin at £45 posted, will get her painted at work and fitted hopefully in the new year :D

Also, just bought a set of these silver ring speedo/tacho surrounds, should smarten the interior up

Had to get a set for a tigra though, as i have a tigra grey surround part in the corsa, but ive sprayed it black, sho should look really smart :D

some nice bits you got for it Dave, will be good when its lowered and has the spoiler fitted, should look smart :thumb:

I should hopefully be geeting a Corsa as a daily, and just use the Nove every now and then.

Woke up and realised you've spent £100 yet?

Should look good

Fitted my passenger front seat the other day:

After afew attempts of welding on old metal etc, and with the help of Tom at work, i finally managed to pluck up the courage to have a go on my car, after cutting an old patch off a Zafira doorskin, heres the result:

http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h8...x/DSC02547.jpg

All the other rust was taken back to metal, primed and sealed also, to stop it getting worse.

Nocked this up over the week also, using a Insignia wheeltrim badge:

Also, fitted blue clock l.e.d's and fitted some white dashboard l.e.d's to make it look abit more modern:

Thats all for now, probabley get the suspension fitted next week,

Looking good Dave, I thought this might get a little more attention than you first thought, we'll have to catch up soon and go for a trip to Mally's

I didn't think those clocks would work on that engine/loom mate

Aren't they electrical clocks ?

Yupp, full exterior in the original Nautilus Blue :thumb:

Spent most of my spare time today removing some parts of the car, the bonnets now totally done, dents in the wings fileld, moved onto the doros now

Also, the bonnet and wings are all sanded down ready for paint :thumb:

Will be a very nice daily runner Dave :)

Hes bound to crash it now though :p

Looking good of course dave. By the time you read this you should know if the car was crashed before or not.

did it come with the broom stick? bargain

The car has at some pint we think been shunted on the drivers rear, as all the inside has been painted and the boot floor has paint from when its been done, and the drivers side of the car is a totally different colour

To be fair its a cracking shell, should hopefully be in paint sometime enxtw eek :thumb:

what colour ?

looks nice :D
