well it all started just after chirstmas and its really taking its time to turn into anything great 
the day it was brought home
first to go was this
to be replaced with something with a bit more power
held in place with nice big mounts
while i was waiting for bits i desided to strip the interior
ditched the moulded grey interior in favour for 2 gsi cavy seats and sri steering wheel
this was my favorite bit untill i realised the ammount of rust on the tailgate
with work going slow for the time being i bought a spare corsa to break
i managed to get a powercap, rollbar spacers, big front rollbar, interior and a few other bits plus cash 
out of boredom i fitted the poverty spec merit with a mfd, glovebox and some rev counter clocks
won a match with the interior, mines being post 97 and the sri i bought being pre 97, my mate had a pre97 with a post 97 sport interior that the rear seats didnt fit right so we did a swop and i got this
done a scrappy run to get the black carpet and a few odds and ends that neither of the corsas had
ive kept the sri steering wheel for now
and ive cleaned the car out so its nice and clean inside
the front
the boot
missing the wee side trims from the boot but there next on my list
and so to the car itself
fitted the tigra scuttle, metal grill and smaller plates so that it looks as if im actually doing something to it
and because of the rust i got a sport tailgate, its got a few wee dents but its better then the rusty one
got a lot to go on it this month when wages day finally comes

How come you don't want the sport spoiler? Or going for the 'bog-standard-but-have-a-2.0-under-the-bonnet' look

Fair do's but since you already have the sport spoiler, keep it. best looking spoiler for a Corsa imo
