Hello From Michigan

Post by darb85 »

Some of you may Know me, Ive met a few of you at a couple of convensions.

But more than Likely you know my dad Don Waddell, As that the first question asked of me when they find out my name, Brad Waddell.

My Dad was the President of Corsa in 1987 or so. About 10 years ago I talked him into letting me sell my car and buy a 1965 Corsa coupe 140.

I found one in Kentucky and We bought it. It had an old Restoration that was done in a garage, and sections of it show that fact, Other things were done right.

We changed out the 3:27 for 3:55, Lowered the car, and put in Nylon bushings and what not. 15 inch American Racing wheels with Yokhoma EVS 100 tires, 205/50-15 up front, 225/50/15 in the rear. Custom Headers(that need to be rebuilt)

we did a bunch of suspension work and Mild interior upgrades and then left it alone. and Now Im Working on upgrading and fixing the things we didnt first time around.

Projects Being Worked on now:

Electric Fuel Pump--In progress

Carb Rotators:--Done

Braided Stainless Fuel Lines--In Progress

Fixing Issues with Disc brake and Lowered Suspension interference

General Nut and Bolt to the Whole car.

Replace Rear Seal to fix minor leak.

Figure out if Need New Clutch now that new Cable is properly adjusted:

Push Button Start--In Progress

Future Plans:

Electron Blue or Laguna Blue Paint Job With Possible Take on Yenko Stripes

Engine--Really want to build a 3.1 with Webers and a strong build internally

Rear Disc Brakes Replace Rear Brake Hardlines

Custom Gauges

Recaro Seats Center counsel.

New Painless Wiring kit Front To Rear.

This Is the Car in Its current State:
