Hellooooo 
most of you know i was looking for cheap car.. but come across this badboy for £300 tax & tested with 100k on it looking like this...
not bad in my opinion...
after a long hard think.... about PVS 10 and how shit my sleeps were the last 3 years in a stupid cold tent!!! i decided.. this is my TENT for this year!!!!!
so i got busy...
found this other badboy...
was told was a 2.0... mm was thinking straight into the van.. but when i got there was a standard 1.4 -.- just paid to get there.. so i didnt wanna leave empty handed so i took it..
then decided to strip it 
then was going to sell the engine but went tits up...
so now i decided to keep it,so its being rebuilt by nathan_27 of here
and will be put into the van... 
pictures of progress to follow...

ok, very nice day today got few pictures...
thanks for the comments  will update daily..
like 97 days till pvs!!!! haha
anyway to the van
day i got it, had spare set of mirrors lying about, changed them straight away, got away with the old ones, weighing so much aswell!!!
Give her very nice warm wash 
the wheels came of the corsa i stripped.. they needed 2 tyres,, got 2 part worns fitted for £30, slapped them on, looked half decent then, even though there in need of a drastic refurb... feels so much better to drive than 13 inch dohnuttss
as the doors are foot smaller, i had to cut the door cards,, the passanger one was perfect, but the drivers wasnt to good, but when closed isnt noticable.. i have some polastyrine (how ever its spelt) im going to cut and fit in to fill the gaps and cover with remaining door card matrial, so you wont notice when doors open.. 
as for the seats...
another fking story, the drivers seat.. only just come out,,
broke 1 rachet
then the passenger seat.. oh jesus.. couldnt get it, gota get the bolt drilled or cut out.. peice of shit not budging 1 bit..
comments & ideas welcome please
i got hold of 2 15" jbl's with an amp for £100 so for ice im rocking
my plans are..
full colour coded respray in white..
tinted windows
droped 70mm
1.4 16v conversion
box out the back so its livable for pvs
and if i can afford it 5 stud conversion on calli/cav turbo rims
Thankss
