This had to happen on here, now I'm premium!!
I've had my corsa about 3 years now, and I'm going to show you some of chnages its been through, I do have a project but on another corsa website, and it 130 pages  so I will cut it down somewhat
I bought the car
This is some of first things I did to it
And won smoothed gsi bumper and headlights from ebay, thought my car was the dangles at this point
Halfords wheels and arch gap
Then nice subtle exhaust
 
Interior shot
and quick spray of gsi rep skirts
Refurbed some more corsa friendly alloys
and got a badboy bonnet
Lights on for pics only, im not a foglight cunt
BEAST
lOWERED ABIT
Huge engine
New gsi bumper, professionally smoothed by Lemass
Resprayed door
Time for 2nd engine
Went about 3 miles with that fitted, and it blew up, so had to fit another engine (number 3)
Aafter months and months of problems, and auto electrianns, I found old alarm wiring was stopping it from running, and fixed myself. whole convrsion ended up being about 1.5k...
Then I got hit by bus
 Engine shot
The bus was found to be a fault, and didn t write car off even though was £900 odd pounds worth of damage Of to Lemass  this is when car starts to chnage
Brand new slam panel
Wings and slam panel painted
Come back to me like this
Boot resprayed with rear bumper and de-wipered
Engine mods
Black carpet
After bucket seats, I got calibras, after them I got better set of calibras, then I got these my 4th set, original corsa leather ones
9 hour road trip
Then in December this year, I decided to get a c20xe,, We started fitting it on 8th jan, And only went for first drive last week (19th May)
Set of these in red
6 hour round trip to wales for this
tIMING KIT, AND LOADS OF OTHER BITS WERE BOUGHT, WON'T BORE WITH PICS
This was after 2 days, I have only just got it driveable, due to dodgy startr motor wiring, and split loom going into injectors, during that time, black dash was fitted with new alarm system and other bits also
Got this
New dash loom to elimted wiring issues
Sportex exhaust system

Had a huge leak, which trying to track down for 2 months, even thought core plugs was missing it wasnt the fault, was some really old gasket still fitted (even though removed old one in one piece) and fitting and rmeoving lower inlet to test is not a quick job.
Some more new bits
http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/post.php?action=newthread&fid=67
Gear linkage lined up, caught in reverse, removed fitted shirt shife, was too tight with nylon bushes.
Fitted stanadrd linkage with nylon bushes, still to tight. Then fitted stanadrd corsa linkage, and its fine. 6 weeks wasted
Bought these (due to collect next week from Lemass
EWWWW
sUP BLAD

Boughht these also getting collected with wheels form bodyshop
Brand new GM bonnet and lights fitted
New brakes
Pics yesterday
Not all car shown 90% been resprayed now.
And that is short version, thanks for reading. It's definatly not the best car out there, and yes its got 5 doors, but none of you that don't know me, wont know how much hours has been put into this car, literally pissing rain, all way through Jan, has had 3 engines in 3 years.
Alos big thanks to Dragon2309 on here, that helped me majorly with this conversion, would still not be finished if wasnt for him!
All feedback welcome.

Thanks Jamie, I hate 5 door from side view, but I love the fact there is not many modified ones!
AW06, it runs, and a short drive later all seems to oull fine, have not been able to go on proper drive yet as not MOT, but can't see there being a problem
Kizzacorsab, THANKS! have spent loads time/money on it, if I was to do thing again, i could do in 25% of price, but its been lot of trial and error with parts and engines, all adds to fun I guess :S
