Right people. Here it goes, been a long time coming but its finally here. If you don’t know, I bought this car off Big Eck in Falkirk over a year ago. Yes, I drove all the way from Falkirk back to Essex and went there and back in a day. Now that was a day! It was near enough standard with a 2ltr in it and not after long it looked like this…







Yes, I know. What a wreck. Then there was PVS 07, in true rally slag form…






Well, after PVS it came off the road. This is where the transformation happened.
And here she is now. Picked her up tonight and fuck me, im in Love!!







(Me doing work is a very rare sight!)


























My legendary 1ltr Work horse doing me proud as per usual






And now to how my little baby stands today. Im in love in a big way!!







More pics to come soon as a few little last jobs are sorted and the right location is found Hope you all like.

Just a thank you to Steveboyslim for supplying the necessary parts and fitting certain parts. Thanks to Danny, a local guy round here that can get you any standard Corsa parts. And lastly, A Massive thank you to the Legend himself, Lee Mitchell. Without this guy none of this would of happened and I would have been seriously screwed. I cant praise him enough for the effort and quality of work he has done for me! If he weren’t married, I’d fuck him, for sure. The guys a star, and I owe him a lot. Thanks a lot matey. Appreciate all the time and effort you have put into the car.

Lovely, the front bumper looks extremely tidy, well impressed with that and the whole car overall.

Only things that need attention (IMO) are the rusty slam panel and spark cover, would the boost pipe not be better with a bent section over an angled cut?

Lovely car though

Did say not quite finished. New Slam panel is going in next sat all sprayed up and lovely. And waiting for JR for my new powder coated spark plug cover. Everythings in hand and will be done. As for the boost pipe, it wouldn't make any difference really, think of the amount of 90 degree bends there are any way.. This is only a slight angle-cut bend.
