im posting this on behalf of richw172 as he's lazy haha but i think its such a good project i wanted to post it, so i will be writing it up as if he is.
i built a white corsa then about a month before pvs 07 it met its end on the motorway


i then thought stuff corsa's and after about 6 months i broke and started looking for a clean shell once more, i was looking on ebay for a good shell to let
when i spotted this flame red corsa with a redtop in, it looked clean enough so i took a trip down to wales to view it and i bought it their
and then for a grand total of 1500.

i soon fitted my speedlines, and lowered it abit more.







i drove it round for 2 weeks to make sure everything was ok with it, then i thought im going to make it the corsa i always wanted so then work began

i put some strengh into the front end





i then set about getting the redtop rebuilt by a friend of mine i don't have any pictures of it getting rebuilt sadly, but here are some i do have





i then bought some of these to smarten up the bay abit


i painted the arch's gloss black




i got it running which was good


but now i've nicked bits and bobs for other redtop conversions i've done.

this is how it stands today






hope you all like it as much as me

im sure rich will fill in what his plans are.

Went to take that bodged blue LET out tonight just to cheer myself up a bit and ended up havin 2 tighten up the down pipe to turbo bolts again and then about 2 mins after i left my unit just about to get on the duel track and the bloody alternator belt snapped just had enough battery to get me bk to my unit. I have now decided that its not gona leave there again untill its a boring XE.
