Lovely car has always been one of my faves on here for the fact how understated it is. Just shows how well stock paint can look if kept mint 
Was my Fave Corsa on the Trax 2006 stand by far.

BIG update:
As some of you might know my car was in a fire....bascally, a company, who are quite well known, was welding the plates in for my cage and unfortunatly the drivers side got too hot near the floor (which has fuel lines running underneath) and court fire badly!Because the car was in the workshop, they had to push it outside to avoid other cars catching fire (including mk1 escort and cossies etc) and the whole side was scraped down the workshop door.
All in all there was around £1k+ damage, but i repaired it because i didnt want to go through insurance and nor did they, so they paid me and my boss to do it.
So its taken me around 2 months to complete just in time for PVS, fitted the sideskirt on the sat but finally got it done.Its been an experience because i have done 99% of it myself and it was my first full respray!
While i was at it i tried to improve a few things, including smoothing the rear bumper, painted the cage to match my alloys (which proved to be hard when its welded in place), fitted harnesses and decidied on a black roof.
Hopefully a 1.6 8v Nova GTE engine will be in by Trax and i will take it on track if its run in and i feel confident enough (i hope lol)

Finally finished at PVS 07
