Hi all, been on Corsa Sport for a few months and thought i make a project log, My names Ashley Bryan I'm 18 and from Mansfield, I bought my 2000 X reg Arden Blue Corsa 1.2 16v club in January 2012 for £750 with 86k mileage, Wasn't the best condition tbf but when i saw it i wanted it, I only have one picture of it when i got it as i wasn't one to take pictures of my car.
When i first got it home (only picture i have)
Then i bought some tigra alloy wheels as i wasn't a massive fan of Astra 6 spokes.
Didn't get any pictures of them on the car, Kept them on the car until i found some new wheels, I found some wheels i liked and went to liverpool to get them and sold my tigra's to my mate jordan (jordancorsab) here's the wheels i found.
This time i did get pictures of them on the car 
By this time i already had, Coilovers, DEPO headlights and a sportex backbox but i didn't have any pictures when i got them, I brought new tires for the wheels as the others were shredded.
I bought a new hoffman racetube as my old center section had seen better days.
Then i got fed up of the wheels being to wrong offset and wanted to go lower so i sold them on ebay and brought some 100mm rear springs and some cav slabs and painted them BMW sparkling graphite grey (not the best job).
My mate got handy with his phone  , Then i managed to find a Gsi kit so i bought it and got it painted by a mate of the guy i bought it off (worst mistake ever) 
Got it home and fitted the front bumper straight away.
Got the side skirts fitted a couple of days after.
Found some MG ZR hairpins cheap for £60, still needed the rear bumper funds was abit low
Managed to get money to have the rear bumper sprayed.
At the body shop
On the car loads better
I didn't like the silver alloys so sprayed them grey with the help of jordan (jordancorsab)
On the car mid wash
Also have a early corsa sport/sri interior in now.
bit dirty i know haha, couple of random pictures i like.
I also bought a Sri steering wheel and zafira gear knob
I've also got a OMP rear strut brace but haven't got around to fitting yet, I got a new job so funds are better now so i went out and brought 4 brand new continental 195/40/16 tires cost me £316.
rear strut brace
£316 worth of rubber haha
She's getting old now but still going strong 99k mileage!
That's all i can think of now probably missed loads out lmao, comments welcome good or bad i don't mind, if you have Instagram follow me @ashleyybryan or add me on Facebook Ashley Bryan, future updates soon big one very soon  it's a shame my car will look like a shed for PVS but i'll be happy to be on the stand with everyone
