rite so i brought my corsa 2 years ago and have been modifying it ever since it was completely standard when i brought it


after a month or two i decided to put some h&r coilovers on it




then decided maybe i would respray the whole car with a two tone because didnt see many cars about like it

was really happy with it was ready the night before pvs 2 years ago but after a while started realising the prick had bodged it to the stars so started saving up to have it completely stripped and redone by a PROFESSIONAL also had ragged it so much i had melted the piston rings to the pistons so was burning more oil than petrol so decided to take it off the road and redo the lot

so once it was all stripped sent the head to be ported and polished and pressure tested and sent the block of to be homed and deglazed and sent the crank and flywheel off to be balanced.

whilst they were off i got a deblias inlet manifold and a set of kent ultimate road cams also decided to get everything new to rebuild it because didnt want anything to go wrong once back together

Next one will probably be next month. Still yet to decide a location. Is looking to be around the Luton area. Keep a look out in the South Central region
