not just corsa's as i like to pick up elements of lots of ideas in the build of mine, but any cars that stand out as inspiration

1. AK's bucket V1, made me think removeing everything was a good idea

2. Broadmores Sierra cosworth, made me think removing everything neatley and then painting it nicely is a good idea

3.Twins RS turbo, made me think after i removed everything i should then powercoat it

obviously taken elements and ideas and used them in my own way, but what about yours ???

For what it was, maybe not always for how it looked.

I can't think of any cars which have inspired me with any of mine.

With my Corsa, the only element which was potentially inspired by something else was the headlight removal like Sierra Cosworth rally cars.

My mk1 Golf I just wanted to look like a clean, tidy mk1, AlaxW's on E38 and Paul H's on here would possibly be inspiration, the clean, tidy, but standard ish look is what I wanted.

Erm, the BMW, I saw a picture on google images, liked it, aim to copy it -

That's it really, I can't think of any inspiration for the others.

This is my dads friends RS2000, the thing is absolutely haggard. Been racing it for years, its a pure slag. Also that dark green turbo 16v ax that does alot of track days at knockhill, everything is function over form, it looks a mess and I love it! That and probably every competing race car, stock hatch cars etc, they arent pretty, just serve their purpose.

Simps nova was a inspiration for me when i started building my nova. Loved the stance on the softstars and the clean clean lines.

Yeah I saw the original owner had sold it when I saw at a Nova rolling road day, knew it wouldn't take long to start looking shit.

...and the funny thing is just before I bought my Punto GT I nearly bought that EXACT car, it was immaculate and only done 30k I think it was lowered on the standard wheels and had an exhaust which were the only mods.

The owner wanted about 2.5k for it but I bought the Punto instead
