Really wanted to take it to work today but it is chucking it down and couldn't be bothered getting it out the garage

New pics are class, love that second picture In particular. Gotta say that new exhaust looks a million times better too, will u bang the original wheels on for a day.. just for me lol. Those suit it really well but I'd love to see it on the original rims.

Cheers mate I can't explain how much better the car has got over the last few weeks, new exhaust is lovely and peaceful compared to the boom of the old one, plus it no longer knocks on the rear beam which has improved it even more. Now I have the tape player installed I can just plug my phone in and play music through that . All this coupled with the improved and quieter ride on four decent matching tyres, it is all made it feel like a decent example now

The original rims? Maybe on a nice day if I dig them out the garage but don't count on it

Spax Krypton coilovers on the front which need replacing tbh but they do the job and Gaz ultra lows on the rear

Ride is pretty good all things considered, certainly not crashy.

Another day driving the Corsa It has a dodgy connection to the central locking motor which caused the alarm to start blaring when I tried to unlock it, had to strip the door and fix it again, need to come up with a more permanent fix i guess by replacing it.

Anyway, a few more pics

Looks georgous this car, does look nicer that bit lower I must admit. That a scuff on the rear bumper? Some rust coming through on that rear arch too?

I am properly loving it now, looks so nice sitting low and even with 3 people in is rub free, crazy

Yeah, the rear drivers quarter area is the only real bad bit on the car, it's clearly had a bump into it at some point as the bumper is scuffed and badly repaired and the arch is bubbling where it has been filled, I do constantly consider getting it done but then it escalates to being the whole back bumper and full side and I think I might as well just wait until I have saved up for the full repaint in the future.

Job is already planned though, hence me buying this last year, can't be many GM GSi quarter panels around Comes with the rivets for the skirts fitted already



Not timescales yet though, so far I reckon I must have spent about 1800 tops and that includes buying the car so pretty happy with what I have for the money

Ah right, yeah I know what you mean mate. May as well get the whole car painted if your planning on getting that side repainted at some point.
