Yup, I'm back with another Corsa (now the fourth one I've owned). Just picked this one up today from Shropshire. 1.2i LS, 1994 reg. It really is clean, I'm well happy with it





Now just to fit this little lot and the jobs on...

C16SE Engine (Vauxhall Nova GSi)



Set of 14" Astra GTE Alloy Wheels (which will be mat black when painted)



Full Corsa SRi Interior



Pair of Recaro Speed front seats too



As well as lowered/stiffened shocks and springs, engine bay stregthening kit (fitting whilst engine is out just incase a valver goes in at some point), uprated fuel pump etc etc

Its really clean, just had a poke around it and can't really find any rust at all. Front of the roof is mint and the chassis legs look clean too. I'm amazed with it. Slight cracks on B pillars, but easily sorted.

Not sure whether to keep badges/rubbing strips on or not though?

Thanks Phil, real pleasure to buy a car from someone genuine.

Interior will go in over the next fortnight and wheels will follow shortly after. Then just need to drop it and stick the block in. All being well it might be done for Christmas and ready for a couple of track days

Old school, Euro-ish and subtle? Surely the future!

I can thank Phil for how clean it is, he must have spent a few hours cleaning it inside and out. But I'll spend a few more hours on it and get it sparkling.

Aye, she does need a good polish, i did polish her but to get the shine back (paint is still a bit matt) she could do with a good mopping really

Will mopp it once all the badges are off, can't be on with negotating round them. You should be a valeter though, damn fine job on cleaning the car out

Don't worry Dan, it'll be out at CWC16. Should have it de-badged by then, won't have much else done though due to moving house.

Different anyway Dav. Seen a few White Corsa's on here I like the look of, so might go for a cobination of my own ideas and some proved bits and pieces. Everything will be done myself, so just a bit of an experiment really
