Wow that is some fender bending, do I have the tenacity or patience to undertake such a task, I fear that I lack the intuition to put my hand to such a master piece. Carry on the good work, it is refreshing watching an artist at work.

We all hope that we have the capability of creating a work of art once in our lifetime. Following your product gives me hope that one day I will acheive that quest, but in the meantime, I enjoy following your endevour as much as you enjoy showing the world your skills. What do you envisage will...

Happy New Year. I see things have moved on at a pace I hope you gave yourself a break for the festive holiday. Studying the lastest additions to your design will it be a rear or mid engined. If it is to be mid engined access to the power module seems a little restricted, but if it is to be rear...

I have the Corsa D SRi CDTI 2010 model with the same engine and I am getting between 45 to 48 combined milage and my current milage is 17500. I must admit that as the engine settles in the MPG is getting better but bear in mind that you have a big body for the 1.7 engine. Welcome to the sight...

Welcome Tunerchick to the forum. I read with interest your initial address to this brotherhood of tuners with some trepidation especially your piece as stated "before I jump into something that I should'nt have". ( I hope this does not indicate that you are thinking of borrowing without...

Economics is the restrainer of imagination in both art and 'rebuilding classic cars'. If only your bank balance should match your determination in your toil to see this car on the road you would be a very rich man. Keep it going.

Welcome to the forum, Cesar. I am a recent newbi to the forum and have found a considerable amount of interesting topics to read about not only in the UK but from around the world. Happy reading.

Welcome to the forum.

I agree with this statement the space inside my Corsa D is quite spacious although at 5'11 very few people can sit behind me and as for changing the headlight bulbs you have to remove the front bumper and the headlights.:embarrest:

Impressive as it is, I don't see anything that would give any ensurity to the needed body strengthing element to this project, unless I am missing a critical piece of this jigsaw. (only thinking about your future wellbeing).

For the VXR engine you would also require the 6 speed gearbox, the rear axles with disk brakes etc etc, the cost is climbing, as advised here, better to wait and save the money towards the proper car. (Owner of 2009 1.7CDTI SRI).

The car went in for second service and a reported noise on nearside front wheel which occured going around roundabouts, came back with a new gear box, compliments of VX. No explanation. (I am certainly not complaining). :lol:
