Well where do i start 14 months ago i sold my mint corsa gsi replica, and since the day i sold it i missed it, so funds allowed i gave darren a u2u and went for a road trip friday and picked it up

Sadly its not as mint as what it was, it needs alot of tlc, but ive got no plans of it being on the road till august

plans are respray,new engine,new interior,

basicly a whole rebuild

anyway heres some pictures















cheers

Im sure ive seen that kicking about Kirkcaldy in Fife.

If its the same 1,then the garage who done the conversion are ment to be quite reputable aswell.Hink the onwer had a few problems with the engine and the conversion.

The garage is very good, I'm sure the first engine Darren got for it was shagged.... not the garages fault and then after many trips back and forth he got someone else to put another engine in and it was gubbered to.
Darrens had nothing but bother since he got that corsa. IMO he's well rid.

That bumper and bonnet surely can't let much air into the rad...

Doesn't look like it needs to much TLC externally from the pics tho

I wouldnt rate the garages work in the slightest, there was silcone over everything the wiring at some points wasnt joing using connectors was just wrapped together, when i sold the corsa it had no problems at all, the owner between me and darren didnt look after it,

The body work is very very poor, paint work is very patchy and the colour doesnt match, but im not her to slag darren or the garage off i was simply saying the work carried out on it is very poor,

Nope proberlly doesnt let much air in but it hasnt had any overheating problems !!!

But that should all change expect to see one extremly cool corsa on a road near u soon
