Life without cars..

Oh it`s so great to be in Mexico..
I`m living on a small island just outside Cancun called Isla Mujeres (Island of Women)
It`s a tropical paradise, and I started a whole website just with information about it..
Here they have mostly golfcars, there are some normal cars, but because the island is so small, and the streets are narrow, golfcars are a better option.. Perfect for me to..
I`d really like to have one and pimp it out.. Then maybe I`ll have to change my blog to Pimp my Golfcar! :p Could be cool!
Read more about Isla Mujeres and what`s happening on IslaLife

Do you have any photos of your modified Corsa I can post here, please let me know! I`d love to have some cool ones here!

My first sign of fame!

I got my car in one of Norways largest streetcar magazines! www.gatebil.no
Wee!!
They posted an article about my project, only a few pics, but still kinda fun! :D
It`s on page 26 in the magazine! :)
Hope you enjoy it, and it`s ofcourse in Norwegian, so if you need a translater, just let me know!

Ps:) All sponsors welcome!

What to come!

Here are my most recent plans on what to do:

* Sand down the car
*Remove rust
*Weld the damaged areas
*Find an engine that fits
*Start planning the interior design
*Look for a suitable bodykit
*Talk to the painter, or learn to paint the car by myself.
*Plan interior design with a local drawing magician (coam)
*check the entire car for problems, FIX problems.

I really had bad luck with the engine, the day before I called to the car parts dude, they sold exactly the same engine that I was looking for.. And it was the LAST!
Damnations!

So that means I have no engine for now.. But I will just have to look harder for one!
Was hoping to get the new engine in this year, but so far, so bad.. :(
Maybe santa will bring me one for Christmas!

I am also thinking about selling advertisement space on my car, so I can get some ekstra PR, some more money for the operation, and maybe some to spare, so I can have a nice holiday when I am finished with it!:)

As I wrote earlier, anyone interested in sponsoring my car, or just wants to give me a hand, you are both wery welcome! :)

Just give me a shout!

-D-

New update!

Hey!
I got some more work done today, and got the front seats removed, the side mirrors, all the door covers, the windshield wipers, the plastic shield at the front window, and even got to fix a little on the rust.. Theres luckily not much rust, but it still sucks!

I actually took more pictures, but in my eagerness to transfer them, i managed to delete a few.. :p Had a few good ones of me bleeding all over myself.. hehe.. damn car! I will conquer you no matter what! :)

Picturepost below! :)

Oh... And I removed the rails on top.. Maybe I can find something else that would look good on there?
In the dashboard, my plan is to mount a 15-17" Inch LCD screen, with a powerful computer, wireless LAN, and have wireless mouse and keyboard, ofcourse..
Or if I can get someone to sponsor me, maybe a touch screen lcd monitor..
Was hoping to be able to manage some of the car features via the computer.
Could be cool! As you can see, the parts are beginning to fill up now! Hehe.. If someone need parts for their Corsa, let me know.. got a few lying around here now! :)

My project!

I have recently been very busy, selling my apartment and all, but now I`m in a new flat, with a garage, so i can finally get to work on my project!

I have a Opel (vauxhall) Corsa 1994 1.4glsi which I have big plans for.. I have to put my money in something, and why not make a beautiful car? :)

This is how it looks like right now, and I`ll be posting pictures on my blog as the progress is improving! :)
As you can see it`s in Ok shape, but the engine will have to be changed, because I drove with it about 700Km without any oil.. :( So, bye, bye engine! ;(
I just started taking it apart, and it`s a lot of work!

So far I`ve removed headlights, rear lights, rear seats, rear spoiler, front spoiler, glove box, and will be continuing with this until it is ribbed of most of the original parts..

My plan is to get this ugly duckling to look something like this..
These are just some photoshopped images, so don`t be a hater.. :p

And here is the bodykit I want on it.. It will be different, because I have a 5 door, not a 3 door as on the picture.. Am hoping to also add Lambo doors in front, and suicide doors in the back.. Could be a crazy combo!

As you probably guessed, I`m going for a white paintjob, with a black stripe going from the hood, on the roof, beams and rear door.

Give me comments, if you have any great ideas, or maybe would like to sponsor me! :)
My mail is available, if you ask for it! :)

Ps) Will be updating almost daily, so keep an eye on this page, cause this is where it happens!:)

I`m not doing anything special with the engine, since it`s got 90hp and I think the car runs great with it.. :) I will get a sportsfilter, and maybe a bigger exhaust, just to squeeze some extra juice out.. :P
