Hep people.
i bought this brocade yellow corsa back in march 06. Orignally it was a T reg 1.6 sport. When i bought the car it was totally standard except the previous owner had put a set of 16" softstars on it.
Once i got my hands on it, i started work straight away- 1st the engine(inc new 2.5 exhaust,powercap etc) a set of AVO pro-evo coilovers,and v6 calipers and 284mm 6-groove discs 
i loved the car like this,for about a week, more had to be done  so i went about changing the badges for opel ones,de-badging the boot/doors,and bumpstrips removed.
i couldnt stop though so the softstars were ditched and my hi-polshed speedlines from my other car were put on it it was then time for my MPS showcage that i bought off my best mate,and my silver LUKE harnesses to go in.
All this time i had no music in the car,because the previous owner never had a stereo in it,so the next purchase came- a touch colour screen clarion mp3/music catcher cd player went in 
enlarged throttle body went onto it aswell
unfortunatly i have no pictures of when i bought it because they were all on my old phone,which i lost!
I then had problems with the engine,it was overfuellin alot , and then once i did get it running ok, it broke the rear mount that goes into the gearbox,causing the engine to fall back,rupture a fuel line and burn six wires together (they were right beside each other so i was lucky no fires lol) i got this sorted and everything was going fine, until one night,i had parked my car for about half an hour,got back to it,and it was ticking its c'unt off, so i drove it home as i was only a mile away. so i now have the engine in bits under the bonnet , only to find my headgaskets gone aswell
 so i m now going to be taken that engine out and puttin another xe in and doing other work to it,because it was a very showy/shiney car, but i want it to be a SLAG so i swapped(and got cash) my polished speedlines for a silver set,that r gettin powder coated black, black morettes, black arches and tops of bumpers, custom rear springs will be here in couple o weeks and few other things  the car is gettin stored at my uncles farm over winter and currently is looking quite ruff 
these r when it still looks HALF respectable outside my house
a few parts arrived yesterday,so i will post up pics t moro of them
but the overall finished item is goin to look like this:
what is everyones opinions ,welcome to critisicm and good remarks, cheers
"never a week goes past without it gettin PROPER cleaned, wheels off, underneath the car, engine bay, inside the wheel arches etc etc I WOULD EAT MY SUPPER OFF OF ANY PART "

farking love it mate , please dont ruin it with black speedlines and morrettes
black takes away the lines of the wheel and the lights dont make the car look as curvy as its intended to
colour code the fooker instead

no my mate Lingard (front cover on TV -white gsi) he has springs that are 90/100 mm, but its a secret how he got them,and i was going to be doing the same,then ages ago i seen a post on here for a company that made custom springs,but i couldn remeber the name of them, then i got their name from u,cheers mate. once its totally done,should be pretty lush, but thinkin abotu selling up once its totally finshed- to fund for my new car

exactly the same up here, there was an old lady round the street from me had a five door, and when my rear towing eye cover started to flake paint off, i walked past hers ,after a night on the pish,and stole her one, i kno its savage,but i was drunk.....
within two weeks she moved away
edit: the steelies have been lyin for fookin ages,obviously judging by the cobwebs got silver speedlines on the front as steelies dont fit over the v6 brakes jus so that i can roll it onto the trailer to take it to my uncles farm

As already mentioned by Monster - didn't realise your car was a valver!
Love it though - there's some smart brocade B's popping up on the site now!
When you get your speedlines back on, make sure you get Opel badges to match all the other badging
