A little history trip, from the start to now with my Corsa!
Had it now since November. It had one old lady owner for the first 7 years of it's life (it's an R reg) and had only done 27,000 when I got it!
Learnt in it and went out every few days with my Dad. Passed my test March 27th so just over 2 months ago now.
Here's a pic (crap one from my phone) of it when I first got it, look how white the arches were 
Believe it or not, that was after it had been cleaned. The black stuff at the bottom of the car is all tar 
Anyway since I've had it, I've done 2000 miles in her, added an Alpine headunit and got rid of the hubcaps! (Running on steelies now!  )
My plans are to get some 14" VX wheels, add some rubstrips and get some smoked side repeaters then sell it in a year or so for something a bit faster!
Here's how she looks right now, minter than ever! I've spent a lot (probably too much) time on 'restoring' her, unwhitening the arches, getting rid of the tar and fixing all the little things it had wrong with it.
Hope you enjoyed!

you've only really done mods that can easily be reversed.

Nah I'm on the lookout for some VX alloys so no point in spraying the steelies and not a fan of the wheel trims!

Get a glovebox put in. Piece of piss to do and is much better than that shelf thing.
I remember when I had one of those 1.2 8v's. Seats were crap
