interior should be in within next cople of days, bonnet is just resting on in the pics, no engine in it at the minute, everything was taken out for it to be sprayed,should all be up and running within a couple of weeks (hopefully)
cheers, brad

i'm liking the corsa, what model was it?

nice cab too

Nice Cab, i don't usually like cabbys.

you know when you've been tango'd! nice car liking it!
corsa was sweet too!

Welcome to the site mate, that was a very nice looking Corsa, nice colour too! As for the Cabby she looks well sweet, I actually like the colour but I bet it's bright on a sunny day! 8)

You look to have your work cut out on the interior but I'm sure you'll find lots of helpful advice on here, there's one or two Cabby owners around for the specific stuff and the tin can owners are good on the general stuff!

Oh and don't forget to join as you'll be amazed at the discounts and benefits, well worth the money!

T :mrgreen:

Looks well, not sure on the colour but each to their own!!! what wheels are they?

thanks very much for the warm welcome, to all the people interested in the corsa, its was a 1.6 sport running at around 168 bhp, spent silly money on it and then swapped it!! lol
as for the golf, i love more and more every time i see it,
heres some pics of what the interior looked like yesterday ( 01/10/08 )




interior tonight ( 02/10/08 ) thanks to a brilliant mate (also my boss and owner of mcd vaux where i work) mark, who helped me out big time and tbh did most of the work and showed me whats what! lol






sorry for pic quality they were taken on my phone, but im sure you can tell a lot has been done!
cheers for reading, updates should hopefully be up every day,
brad

Some quick work there mate, good to have someone knowledgeable help on hand eh!

If you intend to do loads of work on her, not that she needs much you should start a thread in the resto section.

Crikey you did well with your Corsa, think that's the only modified Vauxhall I've ever seen that doesn't look totally barry!

Cabby is looking sweet, tail lights aren't to my taste but I think the blue roof with the orange is pretty cool - nice to see you've lost the number plate tray on the boot too!

Funny you should say that as it normally looks worse without the tray! I was just trying to work out why this one gets away with it.

T :?

thanks very much for all the comments, no update today tho im afraid but im working on it tomorrow so i will take some pics and put them up, once evrything is up and running and back together the mods will begin and the first things to go will be the rear lights,
thanks again, brad

no real update as of yet, not been going as quick as planned but no worries, i put a new clutch on engine other night and bolted gearbox to engine ready to go in, just waiting for the engine mount to be dropped off now and then the ball starts rolling again, should be done by end of month then the mods begin!!
cheers, brad  

Keep it up mate!
