This is my first Corsa.  its a 1996 Corsa 1.4 16v Sport. Only just got it about 2-3weeks ago, and im already in love with it!
The sport has been looked after extremely well and from the pictures you can see that it has been kept in great condition after taking into consideration that the car is 15years old! All paint work still looks great bar the fading on the Spoiler (cant get it to come back up) and the very slight fading on the wing mirriors.
The pictures i am putting up, some show the fading in the wing mirrors, yesterday i had a friend use his buffer machine to try and bring them back up which it did, no luck with the spolier unfortunately.
The car has got 41,000 genuine miles on the clock and recently featured in the Total Vauxhall magazine. ( July 2011 )
- Jamex Coilovers
- Sri Fanblades Painted Gloss Black
- Sportex Decat and Standard backbox (sprayed black)
- Custom Inlet Manifold
- Gsi front splitter
- Smoked side repeaters
Some pictures.

i was mates with Jonny, the original owner who done all the work, all credit to him like! the owner who had it never drove it, although he deffo didnt keep it in good enough condition.
I am thinking of just a few wee things, but have to get the essentials. Looks like a bought at the wrong time, just ordered new tyres, should arrive tomorrow, got a CV joint put in the other day.. breaks need done soon enough, might go for some bigger brakes, maybe gsi ones dunno. Then nearer to christmas, or depending on my pay im gonna get a exhaust manifold.. possibly new alloys eventually, just have to see how i feel near the end of the year.. lol!

Ah yea I forgot it was Johnnys old one, does he still have the blue Corsa? I only met him once and we fell out in the same day over a set of shockers
Plans sound good mate, can't go wrong with freeing up a bit of extra power 
Welcome to the site btw
