Good progress, looks far better on the fanblades IMO.
Sorry but that exhaust needs sorting 😂
Good luck on the retest 😁

Saw a lovely one at Tatton Classic Show a few weeks ago, they still look a lovely car IMO.
The do rot like hell though as do most Vauxhall's, I can remember over 10 years ago looking for one for my brother and most were rotten back then!

Taxed and been out for it's first proper drive of the year. Runs very well with the inlet upgrade, looking forward to getting on with the 421 mani fitting.

Beautiful example that bud! Do love a good GSi and it's great to see one in this condition - speedlines are a classic touch as well. Great news on the MOT pass also, unfortunately I can't say the same for my B....was scrapped yesterday be good to see this at a future show! Thanks mate 😀. Shame about your b, sadly rust is always an ongoing problem for a Corsa owner 😬 I'll be doing a few shows this year hopefully.

Looks tidy but base model b's are currently worth very little.
Stick it on eBay or the Corsa B Facebook page, people are starting to buy tidy examples just because their tidy and numbers are dwindling.

MOT passed today so I'll tax it on the first then I can be out and about in it. The Mantzel inlet certainly seems to open up the throttle nicely, just keeps pulling now

Finished the powerbox install last week and gave it a short run yesterday to confirm everything is ok, all seemed fine so ready for the MOT on Tuesday. It's not been out the garage since October and it's not the cleanest of areas so it was nice to get it out and give it a clean, comes up well. Wheels have been refurbished and just waiting on replacement badges for the centre caps and they will be back on. Once it's MOT'd i'll be fitting quick shift and a 4-2-1 manifold.

Decided on the coldest week of the year to get busy in the garage fitting the powerbox, so far so good. Almost done, waiting on some vac hose to come this week and then hopefully it will be running, also have a short shift to fit, had one on my old one and it really improves gear change feel. Want this MOT'd and back on the road by the end of the month.

Nice Always good to see a Corsa b getting some love. I love these things, I have two myself, a GSi and a nice late model Sport that the wife uses as a daily which is the ultimate in cheap motoring! Keep it up!

Tidying up of the Mantzel powerbox is nearly complete. Painted in VHT wrinkle paint, pretty easy to use and I do like the finish, quite unusual and the fact that it hides all the imperfections in the metal is a nice bonus Planning on removing the paint from the lettering and polishing up.

Ianw what are the specs on those wheels? They look lovely Thanks They're 19" replicas of the original 18" RSTT rims and are finished in chrome powder coat.

they're awesome I was just going to stick this on eBay but it feels made to measure, it's so nice to ride for a 20 year old bike. So much to the Mrs disapproval, it will be staying who needs suspension, or carbon, or disc brakes, or.... Very few people I find
