right so after a year of being off the road due to driving like a crackhead im finally getting sorted again,
been looking like mad for a white corsa b or corsa van lately because my insurance is rediculous,
im 19 with 1 year ncb but ive got 6 points on my licence so i had it revoked,
it wasnt too bad i crashed my car about 6 hours after reading the court letter which was a bummer but then about a week after that i quit my job so i had no use for a car as i couldnt afford to run it anyway,
started an apprenticeship with my dad last week with the added bonus that he'd lend me the money for a car that all i have to do is pay £100 a month on untill its payed off (leaves me with very little money but gets me a car)
so right now for the car, well this morning i was lookin on auto trader when i came across this
its a 1.0 12v gls 1998 corsa 45000 on the clock, all the extras (electric windows, electric mirrors etc) for £1295
so as it was only at shifnal me and my dad descided to take a trip up there, just for a look really, but when we got there it was immaculate no rust anywere (except the normal tip of the backbox) which doesnt matter as ill change it anyway, after a little haggeling we got it for 1200, so the deposit was was payed there and then, its going in for mot in the mornin so we can pick it up saturday.
Future plans:
Wheels: Cav GSI (slabs) or vectra sri alloys resprayed in gun metal grey or black
Suspension: not sure wat brand but am going -70mm front / -90 or -100 rear
Headlights: Smoked depos
Exhaust: just going for a peko back box (possibly full through)
Windows: dark as legally possible all round
Spoiler: corsa gsi
Engine: KnN panel filter or pipercross induction kit
ICE: have a kenwood screen in my room from my focus, Vibe 6x9's, replace door speakers all round
Bodykit: no plans for a bodykit but if i have some spare money ill go for a gsi bodykit
these are the only real plans i have for now apart from debadge it,
it'll take me a while to sort it out but i think ive got a good enough base car to start with..
well let me know what you think about the ideas ive got
oh also there not my cup of tea but my dads lendin me the alloys off his astra van till i get some wheels sorted
as seen below

Bit pricey for a 1.0 12v but I suppose your paying for the miles
Good that its a gls with no grey plastic

Did the service fix the flat spot? If not all 1.0L's seem to die at about 3500 iirc its ecotec changing something?
