alright peeps. as some of you know i recently won a red corsa gsi on ebay for a bargain

went to pick it up on sunday and it drove back perfectly without a hitch

was going to have a good look round it today but was raining when i got back from work so will have a look tomorrow if the weather is better

anyways i took some pictures of it, excuss the quality as the camera isnt great, but you get the idea











engine bay is pretty clean for the milage

the body kit is all in one bit except there is 2 jacking covers mising, no doubt someone nicked them at some point in its life

the rear bumper wants repainting but i think im going to redo the whole kit as the arches are faded and the spoiler has laquer peel quite bad

few spots of rust in normal places, no big problem

worst bit is on the drivers door



once i have got the garage tidied out the work can begin

thanks for looking

Looks really well Liam.

What's plans for it then except spraying? Keeping it standard.

replace everything that needs replacing and make everything really clean, considering painting the underside with new heatsheilds etc etc and having loads of stuff powdercoated

Or sticking an XE or LET in it.

Good GSi's will start to really go up in value soon imo. Same as a Nova GSi in standard (clean) guise is worth a few pennies.

I'd like to restore a GSi to showroom condition one day.
