Hi everyone  Here is our Corsa we've had it for years never really had a build thread for it before so here we go. Car was originally built Walden Engineering who some of you may have heard of  many failed promises to build the car and after twice the time they originally promised we went to see the car, half of it hadn't been done so we took the car and have pretty much rebuilt it over the years since then. Here is a couple of photos from ingliston and crail under its original guise   Then we got a paint job and some stickers    |

Last year there was plans to do a few more rallies but it wasn't to be 1st test at Kames a small/mini rally this happened: Bump Video 1
Bump Video 2
This unfortunately caused a lot of damage to the car will try find some more pics of the car/bits Chassis leg had torn 6 inches if I remember correctly  so car needed jigged etc With our other projects and life getting in the way not much was done to the car last year but progress is now being made    |

Previously the redtop was running carbs  Picked up some nice ITBs  Now to strip out the old carb related bits n bobs, repaint the engine bay/ chassis legs again and see what else needs done  |

That's a nasty bang. Pretty daft place to have a merge where you can't see what's coming around the bend. Hope it was a relatively straight forward repair.

Not a good merge but where did the Evo (?) think you were going to go ?

The wide kit suits the car so well! Always been a fan of corsa Bs too
Do you still do many events with it? Ingliston is only 5 minutes from me, but I wasn’t aware they still did rallying there, or has it since stopped?

Looks great eh  the plan was to do Kames and then a few other events last year such as Ingliston but then that happened maybe we'll do a couple of events this year, Ingliston still usually goes ahead once a year not so spectator friendly these days though |

Stripped the bits out the bay and repainted it  Put enough of it back together so we can roll it in and out, to do work on the other projects whilst awaiting parts  |
