anyone else not suprised to see ANOTHER corsa on the front of the magazine noth.

sdbutler10

lol its either a corsa with a 2.0 woopie fuc*ing doo or a nova looking the same as the others there is never anything different now

vocky

I must admit it's getting boring reading about corsa's with a 2.0 16v or 2.0 let engine :roll:

please stop featuring them, they have been done to death cheers..

I spend ages reading the threads on MIG, maybe some of those cars can be featured http://www.migweb.co.uk/forums/projects-restorations/

I would like to see more unusual cars, standard Nova's, astra mk1, astra mk 2, 'Decs' nova sport 8)

mantas, cav mk2's, maybe a restoration feature each month, like a certain Ford mag :lol: (disclaimer: I deny reading about old Fords and don't intend buying one and certainly wouldn't fit a 2.3 duratec itb'd 250 bhp engine with mazda 6 speed box in one 63.. )

I was shocked at the brownish coloured corsa c in there.....why feature a car which has a hanging bog standard engine bay.....and the likes of neil (bluese2 and jamee) who have sent there pics in are nowhere to be seen in the mag...

I thought the 4 door Corsa was a bit of a mess under the bonnet! It is fuckin embarrassing really. And read about the owner and his never ending list of accidents!! What a wonderful read! NOT!

He was the classic example of a proper NED! It's beyond me how that piece of crap got in there.

It certainly did. I'd much rather see something like that get the front page than another corsa

JohnnyN

I have to make a slight critizism on the i500 replica. It was Silver and its been repainted on the outside but not around the engine bay. The attention to detail on everything else is superb and I felt that it was a let down by the silver inner wings?

Matt

I agree mate, you'd think that going to all the effort they described in the writeup to get the I500 kit, they'd have whipped the engine out during the resperay for the sake of an extra couple of days and a bit more ££.

vocky

if you have ever painted a cars engine bay you would understand why they left it well alone :lol:

it's serious work changing the colour 🙁

JohnnyN

But I bet that you would do it. Because you won't be able to sleep if you didn't. You are a perfectionist!

;-)

vocky

been there done that several times :roll:

thats why I know it's bloody hard work 🙁

thats whats stopping me from doing a restoration project, I really fancy doing an old car with modern running gear 63..

JohnnyN

Give us a clue??

dunno..

vocky

TR6 with a M3 straight six engine + box

RS2000 mk 11 with a 2.3 itb + 6 speed box

Jamee

go for it, if you have the money and time, would be an awesome project, i would love to attempt something like that, but sadly havent got the space...(or the money..lol)
