This will be a long term project for me as I have another car I use in the Toyota sprint series,
so this will be be my show car/weekend car once its back upto standard.
Plans are at the moment to make it into a bit of a good b-road thriller so lots of power / engine swap
is not on the cards.
A good suspention and brake setup and nice wheels and nice paint work is what i want.

I did a DVLA search and found that there are only 467 corsa sports left on the road,
so I want to keep it as a sport realy.

I rescued my corsa from being scrapped. It got traded in to vauxhall on 20k by a middle aged lady who didnt want it and they was going to scrap it. I got lucky and managed to get it and keep it on the road. Glad i saved it now after seeing that figure of how many sports are left.

Give the car a good first wash yesterday and cleaned thewhole intinterior. Today started to clean the engine and engine bay, plus de-restricted the air-box it costs nothing so thought I'd give it a go.

Took my car in today to get a quote on the welding and there goes a few hundred quid. When checking the spare wheel holder the floor of it just poked through with me pushing not much on it. So 2 holes in it now a big as your fist. The bit before the p/side front wheel needs plating bad. Atleast it's guna get sorted now away.
