I like a bit of a rabble about my motors before I post photos so here goes with this one! I had the big yellow fun bus (Astra Mk3 Sport Estate) and my Dad was looking for a car for himself. He does a bit of Golfing and has a bit of equipment to carry about. He's probably fussier than me when it comes to motors, so I pitched him the idea of taking the Astra off my hands as it suited his needs and to be fair its like 95% mint/factory condition (Right up our street)
So as soon as I found another daily motor for myself, the deal was done. I found this Corsa B SRi in Essex and we arranged a flight to go down and pick it up. It's not mint but not far off either.
It's nearly covered 67k from new and it's the proper engine (C14SE - 1.4 8v). The only thing that'd been done when I got it was -60mm springs which I love the look of but drives terrible, it wants for some good yellow Bilstein shocks!
I've added my Alpine sound system to it to jazz it up a bit inside and once suspensions done I'm gonna get my Speedlines resprayed and fitted with 4 new tyres! Won't be altering much on this one, only refining it
I've not many pics yet as not had the weather or day light due to work but here's some anyway;
Also, new fresh dealer plates made by ATM Graphics;

Speedlines on an original looking B SRi - Period!
Steelies are 14" I'm guessing 5.5x14 they are on 185/55/14 tyres for a bit of width and lower sidewall

May well be for sale at the right price as I'm going back to a diesel car for work. I think this is too good to use daily as there ain't many about like it any more
