I bought this corsa off sharpy on here as a stripped out corsa shell no engine and no interior just front seats as i had lost the fight with rust on my other corsa and didnt want to spend any money on it.

how i got it

first thing i noticed was the passenger rear arch was rotted and literally fell apart when i touched it which i knew about when buying it but rest of car was solid so sorted that first

then engine swap time

both cars

engine on its way out of old corsa pink gloves ftw

New corsa getting prepped/undersealed before engine being fitted

almost in

police car got stuck whilst doing this so got a pic

engine in and running

That was it for a while then thought ide have a change and fitted cesaros

Mhws connected

then had to sell cesaros becuase needed money so fitted slabs again

thats pretty much as it is atm but just bought myself a compressor and all painting equipment so going to be buying a gsi kit and painting that up and going to ripping interior/dash etc out and fitting all black bits out of a sport. also on the look for some 15" imry twinspokes aswell
