swapped my euro corsa for a mk1 cabby! pics:
« on: 08 October 2008, 17:34 »
hi there, i jut swapped my euro corsa for a mk1 cabby so i thought i would join up on here, i have always wanted a mk1 golf since i first ever saw one at the age of about 3! lol and now i have one and i love it, heres a pic of my corsa:


and now the mk1 golf!! (all comments welcome)
cheers, brad :)







sorry for all the pics and the quality of them!

to all the people interested in the corsa, its was a 1.6 sport running at around 168 bhp, spent silly money on it and then swapped it!! lol
as for the golf, i love more and more every time i see it,
heres some pics of what the interior looked like ( 01/10/08 )




interior ( 02/10/08 ) thanks to a brilliant mate (also my boss and owner of mcd vaux where i work) mark, who helped me out big time and tbh did most of the work and showed me whats what! lol






sorry for pic quality they were taken on my phone, but im sure you can tell a lot has been done!
cheers for reading, updates should hopefully be up every day,
brad :D

I actually like that Corsa too.

Love the cabby, that colour is going to look good in the summer. Only thing I would change though is the rear lights. Look much better with half and halfs.

thanks very much for the comments, the corsa was anice car but getting to that stage in its life where it was just starting to cost money so i think i got rid of it at the right time!
it should all be up and running in 2 weeks (hopefully) then the fun begins with modifying!
thanks once again, brad :)

Good move mate! I used to be a Vauxhall mechanic, but since driving VW's, I'd never go back! Nice Mk1 too! Notice it has a mark 2 dash. Pain to fit?

thanks for the comment, the dash went straight in no problem, i dont know if its like that on all mk1's but it went into mine without any fuss or bother, its the engine im having trouble with, i have a mk2 manifold to go with the mk2 gti engine but have been told i need a 'conversion manifold' cant i not just modify the original?
cheers, brad :)

What's with all the love on this site lately for poop cars ! "Euro'd" (I hate that term !) or not, it's still a Corsa peeps, get a grip !

Welcome to the site by the way. :afro: I like the colour of your cab, I don't like the rear lights or the front lights and debadged grille, but it's your car not mine so good luck with it and excuse me for not liking your corsa, nothing personal, I just can't stand them.  :wink:
......now officially dubless.
