Ive owned my corsa for 2 years now, bought it totally standard and have slowly been changing things on it. started life as a 1.2 16v but after nearly two years i was fairly fed up of the lack of power, so found a X16XE engine and dropped that in. Heres some pics of the car when i first bought it and how it is now, ill upload progress pics through the years at a later date

Here it is in the garage where i bought it from


Here it is as it stands today












will get some pics of the engine up later and a spec of the car, cheers for looking, comments welcome

i knwo the feeling its took me two and a bit years to do just what ive done to mine now, you just got to be patient and save up, i think its better that way anyways as when you have to save up you have time to think about your next mods properly future plans i aint sure yet, wudnt mind geting it lower, maybe white cesaros, gloss balck plastics, semi smooth boot, depos the usual lol would love throttle bodies as well but i can only dream
