Hers the story of my wee lil corsa. Theres definately been a few 'oh dears' and a few other choice words. So heres the history....

Jan 2004 brought it from a local dealers for the pricely some of £2495. No pics from the day I brought it but only a week later it looked like this as I had already brought the filter and the wheels I brought off a Gsi that sat in the scrappy! oh and the exhaust was off my old car.






The car remained like this for a long time whislt I was saving for some wheels. Unfortunately I didn't have enough for the suspension I wanted so It rode like a 4x4 for a while. Here she is at pvs'04



Shortly after I think I lost the plot a bit a decided to hack my front bumper to pieces! ops!! Oh yeah and brought a carbon bonnet too!



Anyways moving swiftly on... I then found enough money to purchase my suspension. -60mm Venom dropshox.



At this point I decided I wanted to strip the rear and put some buckets in. Buckets from a friend for £50!! And belts from local Corbeau/Luke. Also my girlfriend brought me a wheel of the 'bay for me birthday. Ace. Also brought a sub and amp of a mate for £50.





I then stumbled upon a smoothed boot and rear bumper in the local scrappy whislt looking for my a set of wheels for a mate. £70 later they were loaded up in me car and off to the bodyshop where I had the front end erm.... tidied up.




Here she is at Fast and Furious '05 in Brighton.



Then some where I'm sure a few other things were added, fell off stuck back on etc.



I then decided to refurb my old wheels myself but had no spares!! So a quick trip to the bay and I found these....



Put some toyos on and then on the car.





The old BK's returned looking like this...




Then the last visit to the bodyshop it came back looking like this....







So there she is.
As always comment etc welcome.

Thanks for reading.
