yep, the last few days have been the final straw for me, totally had enough now.
got pulled by the police for the first time in 8 months the other day for my number plate on the front being too small, then ive gone to put my 4 pots on the car, had to use 3mm spacers to get the wheels to clear. went to tighten the wheel bolts and ripped the thread out of the hubs... on top of other random small things its pushed me too far, so its R.I.P to another corsa..   
stuff for sale btw is here

Have you tried re-threading the hubs? Sometimes putting a new bolt in will give it a new thread again.... I'd try and sell the car as it is first, if you sell if for the price you bought it for i might be interested

pathetic reasons for wanting rid of a car IMO.
guess you used the air gun on the wheel bolt ?
I think you should just replace the hub and carry on as planned. it's going to be a beast if you finish it off.
