Best way gav. All the best cars in my eyes have minimal mods but ones that work well. I might have to find another set of nice wheels for my car as a second set/winter wheels.

big update on this while I have a few minutes, basically bought a nova 2 door saloon in the summer- had a few complications... decided I didn't want it flogged it and spent the money elsewhere! so I still have this, and its too clean to let go of, so I decided after a few months of searching to do a decent conversion that doesn't involve 16valves and go for a c16se lump
few pictures of it looking rather tidy indeed
so after months of being time wasted or stuff being offered a million miles away I found this complete running converted corsa for not a lot of money and bought it there and then! the engine and box are so sweet its unreal- its quite quick too and different to a redtop that you see on every street corner !

getting delivered a guy from shiply done this for £62! bargain (from ashford in Middlesex to me in se London/kent!)
and home with me
at this point Its my first ever conversion/full on engine change, and I still feel really bad for breaking it but I have to look n the bright side- the purple shell needs this, as if I wasn't doing this id probably sell the cleanest/ rarest colour? corsa b shell ive had my hands on (and ive had 5 so far!)
the prize- after I remembered to take a snap while dismantling the ancillaries and general gubbins.
and how the drive looks currently with the corsair yet again moved to its second most favourite spot lol..
too many distractions I shouldn't even be touching these corsas but they are just too good in my opinion..was gonna go vw again but I think before I do I want to do this
and tonight all on my own I stripped photographed every bit and pulled the engine and box out piece of piece..if I wasn't on a fucking sloping drive lol.
will update it when I can plan to have this done before the years out as I have to go back to uni
bear with me haha
