Having the disastra for 3 months and how much it was costing to run and repair i missed my old corsa and decided that it was time to just make a loss and start on another Corsa. Saw this sport locally and paid 700 quid for 1.4 16v Corsa Sport in Black. It needs a little TLC but im in no rush 
Ive no real plans for it yet so ideas be helpful but as soon as i bought it new parts where needed to get it through its mot as it had failed its mot 3 days before i bought. It failed on various things including a scratched Windscreen and seeing this as a job which I cant do personally a new windscreen was on order and the same day it was fitted for 134.98 Sorted.
Before :
After :
Same day I went to Halfords and spent about 60 quid on cleaning jobbies as the car hasn't really been looked after.
YUM 
Finished Product
Ignore the gay uniform
TLC required
Dont know what to do with this yet 
Alloys will be going as I dont like them at all 
Also refurbed my wiper arms , New front disks and pads, Drums, bearing and cylinders for the rear

Right time for an update on ABU -
Courtesy of SR-91 i have an Engine Cover which has made it look much better underneath the bonnet along with a standard air box destricted and drilled. So out with the old glued back together Pipercross cone and in with standard air box.
Still need a new belt cover and spray the engine cover but that will be done at a later date. Also had some Matt Black spray left from spraying my old corsa , so i decided to paitn the two front pillers in black. An very easy mod which makes it look better IMO Still need to do the rear pillers but didnt have enough spray will do soon though
Finally, bought some Cav Slabs of SR-91 for 120 pounds and they put straight on, I do like  Just need lowering
So just have to save up for lowering and get some simple mods done for the time being
