My little corsa has been through hell, but i might as well show the build up to how it is now.
It started off as my 1st on my bday in Feb 2006. Which it looked like :
I have to say it was a really clean little car.
Was bored of the interior, the standard 1.2 with the rainbow patters all over it, so i baught this :
Ripped the whole interior out, a standard Sri interior.
the car its self was in abit of a state, but i wasnt bothered about that.
Also noticed it had some decent springs and shocks so fitted them the same day along with the alloys :
The alloys were a totally different offset, so they rubbed like fook!
Off they came.
Didnt know what to do with the car, was gona sell it on or keep it.
I actually like the way it sat low on steelies
I hit a pot hole on the road one night, and fooked my rear shock up
So decided to get some standard shocks from the scrappy for £20 for the lot
Decided I wanted compete in road rallies, so i baught a set of cheap spot lamps, fitted them on, baught a nova roll cage for £100 thinking it wud fit, but :
was totally out of proportion (SP)
Striped the whole interior out:
Took a trip to demon tweeks, picked up an OMP cage, fitted an extra bar fo strengthening, and an extra bar at the bottom.
Not the best picture but hey.
After we fitted the cage, took it for a run down the road, went on a back road. Dropped a gear to go round a bend, "bang".
The conrod came through the side, dont think your ment to go flat out in a 1.2, if thats possible 
Out comes the 1.2 engine
In goes a 1.4, not the best conversion. But the easiest to change in a day.
First ever event we did, got 3rd in class and 15th overall 
Decided i wanted something with alittle more poke in it, swapped the little corsa for an SRI, from Corsadave16v or Corsac20let
Totally regret doing it, 1st week he had the little corsa he had a little bump.
I felt sorry for it so i baught it back, and im in the process of rebuilding it.
One thing im gted about is the cage has now gone a another good home.
But i got another one now 
Will post some new pics of how the corsa looks now in the process of rebuilding it
