I don’t usually comment, in fact I believe this maybe my first but love watching and learning stuff from this series and also previous videos. Thank you!
Well done mate . You made a start re-fitting everything. They sell split loom on eBay cheap if you are replacing and fixing the loom (make it all tidy again)
From my experience, those small bronze coloured wire wheels are not particularly tough. And they struggle, especially for heavier rust. I've started using the chunkier wire wheels that you can mount to a grinder. That way you can really put your weight behind it and attack the heavier rust. The other thing I would recommend is NOT to paint straight over the metal. But rather, use a brush-on rust converter first, (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rust_converter) which will convert any microscopic rust and seal the metal. And then paint. That stuff will also get into nooks and crannies, where rust tends to hide, and where you can't always get to it with a wire wheel. If you miss just a little bit of rust, however small, it will come back to bite you later. Especially in the crappy weather and salty roads we have in the UK. Which is why I would recommend using the rust converter for your next paint job! :)
Not a criticism, but id treat the sub-frame with a rust treatment before painting, and Autosmart G101 and a pressure washer for the engine bay, Looking forward to the next video btw.
What a chance to change those anti roll bar bushes cause they are a pain when subframe is on the car, unless you thought they were ok? great video as usual, keep up the amazing work, love it
Would I need to swap the full subframe and steering from the donor car to the Corsa or would they be a good match? Obv for the 1.8 Vauxhall engine just to save time
Great job so far i cant wait to see it finished but please tell me youre planning on doing some power mods when you have everything up and running? that we be insane in a little car like this ha
The Savage Garage don’t get me wrong mate that’ll shift with that 1.8🤙 just missing that turbo tho😫 been watching your videos for a while now and you’re some guy👍
robbie gillespie yea it's a sensible question, I wanted to do a 1.8 first.. and then when funds are better and weather is better get involved in turbo stuff
Turn corsa into a race car add racing brakes new high engine and turbo charger and mad exhaust and spoiler what’s the point of making stock if you sell it you get paid more money 💵

Yes! Loving this project
Awesome man, good idea on prepping the subframe and painting it looks so much better
Loving the videos and the project
i guess that will be the last time you see the enigine bay that clean ha ha ha keep up the good work.
Looks superb man!
Nice. Get yourself a little 4” grinder for your next tool, fairly cheap.
Zed Man I could do with a smaller grinder mate
U so good work.....am addicted to your vids :)
Looking good!
Don’t you need thread locker for subframe bolts to stop them vibrating loose over time? Or even buy new subframe bolts? Great video 👏👏
Another mint video got my sticker yesterday looks mint on my tool box thanks
brightlight6900 thanks for supporting my dude!

Dash Cam Das yea it's not a full restoration otherwise I would have done, I just wanted to hide the ugly rust really! Cheers
Amazing keep up the good work man
We'll done am really jone all of yor voids on here mate you do a good job on all for yor cars mate well done mate form Greg bouchard
Interesting as always.
What a chance to change those anti roll bar bushes cause they are a pain when subframe is on the car, unless you thought they were ok? great video as usual, keep up the amazing work, love it
Loving the videos. Keep them coming :)
Can you use standard 1.2 subframe? Or have you got to use Sri one
Dude you could easily pick that sub-frame up walk to car !!
Thumbnail to this video looked like you was ready to start spraying graffiti :) Brilliant videos as usual !
change sway bar bushes before the engine goes in!! if they fail,you've got a bute of a job on.(nearly zero access)
Hi, everything is fine, but why you don't use Brunox epoxy on the rust? Are not you afraid that rust will appear quickly?
Great video brother I like ur high tops thanks for the video
Would I need to swap the full subframe and steering from the donor car to the Corsa or would they be a good match? Obv for the 1.8 Vauxhall engine just to save time
This sounds like a good idea but does it effect your insurance much ? How much will it have cost to do it everything included?🤙🤔🙌
Another great vid mate. I have got to ask as super curious. What are the two bricks with string doing?
Arts&Trusts weighing down the gazebo so it doesn't fly away haha
You do a good job mate well done mate form Greg bouchard
What are the plans on the 1.8 after it’s fitted are you keeping it or is it a project?
Great job so far i cant wait to see it finished but please tell me youre planning on doing some power mods when you have everything up and running? that we be insane in a little car like this ha
Martin Maughan there isn't too much to be done to this engine but I will be doing exhaust and intake mods
The Savage Garage have you thought about a remap maybe for that few extra hp?
Polybush it or not ?
Darren Butt don't really think it's worth the money mate 👌🏻
Nooo MAN thats a bodge paint job on the Sub-frame
Just to let you know m8t you will need a 1.8 exhaust as the 1.2 wont fit the cat ppl say
Tommy Cars&Games 97 yea I know bud on the list of things to get 😬
The Savage Garage oo straight pipe pops and bangs :)
Yea strip it and paint it would be cool
How much did you pay for the trolly
Jayyy Jay like £40
Why fit sub frame without steering rack in? You will have to remove it again to fit rack
jabbba100 yea I realised that after 😬
Not really a big job but still annoying it's something we've all done before
English crisfix 👌
Jaker Abu haha that's a awesome compliment!
Why didn’t you just redtop it mate??
robbie gillespie too expensive for what car it is
I wanted to put a 1.8 in it first
The Savage Garage don’t get me wrong mate that’ll shift with that 1.8🤙 just missing that turbo tho😫 been watching your videos for a while now and you’re some guy👍
robbie gillespie yea it's a sensible question, I wanted to do a 1.8 first.. and then when funds are better and weather is better get involved in turbo stuff
The Savage Garage Maybe a Corsa B Project with a redtop? Bit common but would be cool
Hi
Turn corsa into a race car add racing brakes new high engine and turbo charger and mad exhaust and spoiler what’s the point of making stock if you sell it you get paid more money 💵
