Well as things didnt go to well with the old blue one and was totally rotten, decided to buy a new a new Corsa B and a local lad was selling this one for £300 but the engine needs a few new bits on it to get it running so went to have a look at it because i knew it was clean car for its age and it had a few goodies on it like a showcage, Spax RSX coilovers etc so bit the bullet and bought it This is how i bought it back 2 months ago or so (bar the wheels,lad decided to keep them):



Mods done so far:
Derubstripped(bits of glue still to take off but will wait till the better weather)
Fitted my Sportex decat system with 3" outward rolled tailpipe
Standard headlights for the front as it had grubby black angel eyes on it(not pictured)

thats really all the mods ive done just now as im focusing on stripping the engine down and replacing the headgasket first of all,

Mods planned:
Fit my 15" Corsa C SXi alloys once refurbed in white and wrapped in new 195/45/15 tyres
Try and move the coilovers down as they are seized on the fronts
110-120mm springs on the rear
Spray my showcage white
New drivers door
respray the bonnet as its bubbling rust
GSi spoiler
Post 97 bumpers
Sport interior
3/4 plate on the front
ABM angel eyes or depo's
German crystal rear lights or MHW's
and Just a general tidy up getting it looking as nice as possible

Will get some new up to date pictures asap Cheers Scott

I thought about buying it back if it came up for sale but I couldn't, got good money from selling it plus its been abused since I sold it so wouldn't want it back.

Wouldn't mind another black Sport though tbh, and create the Corsa I always wanted to have and actually get the finished result un-like the last 2 attempts
