Corsa = £500.
2.0 16v = £300
Suspension = £300
Brakes = £50
Hubs, shafts, mounts, ebay = £300 (?)

Just about comes in under budget if doing a home conversion.

Problem with cars, everyone wants to be bigger and better, thus the costs of doing it get more and more.

I've realised less is actually more though.

And decide what you want to do first, dont buy something, change your mind, sell it, buy something else, change mind, sell it, etc etc etc..... (AKA JR and me style)>

Daimo, I think they mean as a first car hence the small price tag

If young lads get hold aof a cheap conversion they'll just insure it as a 1.4 & crash it

Woos is the maroon 5door one, that would be good, show that you can work with what youve got and still have a stunning car for a couple of grand

mine would be near the £2k mark, cost about £1200 with teh wheels/tryes £400 plus the interior bits must at the £2k mark although i know she needs lowering desperately

did you buy it with airdam on as they cost a few quid!

nope, it was standard when i bought it, check my garage for the full details!
not to everyones taste i know, not many

for the wheels but i'm trying to break the stereotype and be a little different!
