Lovely, will be cool as fuck bruv once the front bumper is on. Not a fan of the rat look you have gone for on the drivers door though.

yeah a fair amount of effort will be put into it over the coming months, the rat look wasnt whati was after either but the previous owner didnt mind each to their own lol
I'm quite happy with the lil 1.2 engine nice change from what im used to cant believe how far £30 in petrol has taken me and still got just under half tank since last week

got 2 lil girl lol.
ideally what im aiming for is the smooth euro look and having it sprayed mica brown my cousin is a pro sprayer and spray job will cost me next to nothing, I just gotta buy the paint, have been toying with the idea of banded steelies it will take some time due to family and work life but we are all in the same boat arent we...
maybe a poss 1.8 - 2.0 engine transplant but thats a long way off for the time being, got plenty of i.c.e. to keep me at bay so dont really need anything there maybe a new amp thats about it really
will post updates and progress over the months, with xmas coming it will just be the subtle mods for the time being
and def need to look to see if i have the central locking and electric window wires as what i have in the corsa is very basic which is nice and strange at the same time lol
btw nice to meet you guys on here you seem like a welcoming group

i dunno to be honest mate he said it was a one-off? bought it a few days back
seeing as I'm going for the euro low look, lowering it will be 1st of my mods i know coilovers are the answer but for the time being ideally what kind of drop should i go for 60mm or 80mm on standard shocks and wheels or am i aiming a bit too low for standards??

Seen the silver one a few times.
Id of kept that tbh,much better than a corsa.
Ive had 3 corsas over the years and they are shockingly bad cars,only stick round on here for the banter.

ive pretty much modified every car ive ever owned from standard and think this lil corsa will use all my knowledge of modifying over the years parts and upgrades are so cheap to what im used to buying looking forward to the year ahead and the difference i can make to it
the silver saloon was written off while i was parked so that went.
the estate being a 2.2 run by a cam chain the chain had snapped and the engine ceased bending valves etc so stripped it and scrapped it a few months back bought an R5 GTT the eingine blew 4 days after buying it which pissed me off but had an offer for the corsa on a p/x basis cash my way so happy at the mo, may go back to a vectra C one day but thats a couple years away gonna have some fun with a lil car for the time being
