Paid about £5 for it including delivery, off ebay.
UPDATES:
Not much really, been too busy with the other half & school to do much to it, with the added fact that the alternator belt is snapped.
So, took a couple of pics, just to show the things I gotta sort:
Painted the rocker cover a couple of weeks ago, came up quite nicely (Ignore the filter lol, i was experimenting with it, makes no difference having it there  )
And heres a pic of the damage due to the fake spoiler, siliconed up atm, untill i can get a real gsi spoiler. Hopefully the holes are in the same place
Considering selling this corsa anyways, would really, really love a Nova SR or SRI, utterly love novas, mainly due to shaun having so many of them before the corsa

Also fitted a pair of cavalier sun visors, and a cavalier interior light, only for the fact that mine was yellow

Aye, you can use SRI or GSI dials, both have a speedo cable. You can tell if they are cable driven if they start at 10mph

Been a while since ive updated this. Anyways, picked up an utter bargain, £70 for a pair for JBL 6x9s, and a 2 week old kenwood amp & sub, plus an superb unopened wiring kit. Fitted that up, sounds sweet.
Got a set of 2l disks for free, plus a free handbrake cable, still got to get them fitted though.
Aside from that, not much else really.

Heres the pictures of the recent developments:
Ive also taken a few photos of the shit i want changed or sorted on the car.
First, this bastard
For the rear, I would like a GSI Spoiler, Punto spoiler, and a Post 97 bumper. I have a post 97 boot handle, need to paint it up though. Fancy a oval exhaust too.
Id like to get the mirrors colour coded, along with the arches. Would fancy some GSI Skirts, or something else nice. Wheels, well, anything white, really want white wheels for it. Lowering is needed asap, 60 methinks.
Front I would love a GSI front for, or a Post 97. Also, depos would be nice. A set of wipers could be handy
Sideways, sorry.
Also, theres some rust on the roof id like sorting:
