well got me car
finally 1 week late it arrived had a look round it etc its done 91k not bad it is 12 yr old and its not in that bad of condition bit of surface rust on the 1/4 (they all rust in same place apparently?) inside the door shut and some on the bonnet (probs caused by stone chips) but the arches are still sold
well then... then plans
so far my main one is to get any rust etc sorted so i have a sold base witch to start with
bodywork
standard bumpers with laguna splitter smooth in and the lines on the bumper etc smoothed and the back same again just smooth possable bad boy bonnet and should be getting some corsa c six alloys for it next week or week after then thats it i think nice n subtle
interior
wanted a corsa c dash but tbh cant be arsed with the amount of modding etc is needed to fit
so staying with the std dash probly just color coded or maybe flocked
and as for the rest (atm has this horrible Grey interior) I'm after a sport or gsi one or am gonna see about getting them dyed just in black
then thats it done!

slapped and i mean slapped lol some filler over the top
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k211/___rob___/P1010494.jpg
sanded down still not 100% smooth needs filling again realy

so anyways did all that to the bonnet but decided to get a new 1 instead as i want a guarantee that the rust will not return in like 6-12 month time when its all been painted etc! :lol:
will be updates near enogh daily lol working onit every nite after work want it painted by end of next month ideal so am not pising around with preping bodywork in the cold dark autum months lol
