1994 Corsa - Matt Black

Cheers lol, yeah faded red looked too pink so oxide red came out
The exhausts are only photoshopped on, I'll see if I can actually get the done when I've got some cash

Nice weather, random location, mmmmm

that is wicked looking mate
bring on the rats
iv nearly finish my rat corsa b 5dr ,mys white primer


good work mate

Cheers mate. Got RetroRides on the beach to go to this weekend, I'll grab some pics while I'm up there

Right, ready for Retro Rides on the beach at the weekend


Wheels re-blacked


and switch mounted. Got almost all wiring done, just need a double spade connection from the shop tomorrow and job done





Then wanted to get rid of the old crappy aerial, so this is the room I have to work with..


after half hour of struggling and some help from a freind


How the hell anyones meant to do this and put a replacement/new style in without ruining the roof is beyond me. Out comes some fibreglass


and tada, shaved roofline

RR was a good weekend.. trust me to forget firelighters for the BBQ though

looks sweet..what wheels are they? they look like the same steels that were on my golf

Same wheels then most likely mate, they were off a mk golf/jetta gti. Cant find me any center caps for them though <!-- s:evil: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_evil.gif" alt="" title="Evil or Very Mad" /><!-- s:evil: -->

yeah thought so had some on my mk2 when I fisrt got it.. they look better on yr corsa than on a golf ..mine didnt have centre caps :/

Cheers mate, for steels, I really like them. Some of them had some sort of trim ring too but I cant find them either lol

Hmmm, I'll take a look where water lines form from the windows and follow them, try to keep it natural looking. If not I can always spray back over with more oxide red and it'd look back to before.

We begin with poverty spec grey. It's drab, and frankly causes more suicides than the price of petrol (which probably isn't actually that many, go figure)


Take some unlikely tools, warning: contains fabric dyes. Perfect then...


A little while later and we have this


With the door closed not shabby


Parcel shelf, looks crappy while wet, could have made a mistake here...


But once dry, bang on the money


Worse quality picture than trying to take one through beergoggles, but shows how close the colour is to the bodywork


Next up is doing the rear doorcards to suit, and rooflining. I can't imagine it will fade in the sun, so I should be onto a winner. I can't do the front seats as I'm wary of it rubbing off on peoples clothes.. I'm nice like that
