[quote][i]Originally posted by mattyross[/i] thought id register and show my car, seeing this is the best corsa site ive found. you seem a good lot that seem to know what you're talking about (dont talk chav shoot and slate each other lol) :rolleyes: bought my first car in september 2005, after 2 months of searching and a few major letdowns. it was a 1997 vauxhall corsa 1.2 8V from an 18yo girl in louth. haggled the price down considerably due to the fair condition of the car (not showroom condition after 75k miles, im too picky lol). glad i bought it, because its given me a nice project. it certainly [b]wasn't[/b] immaculate to be honest, but i was extremely determined to make it a mint looking and running car. my action plan was, restoration and preservation before any modification as such. I wanted to achieve it with minimal cost, all with my own skills- whilst learning new ones in the process. here's some pics of my efforts so far..
