Hi been on here for a while ive had a few corsa's now but never had one
with a decent shell worth doing anything to it but last week we had a corsa
come in with low compression on cylinder 2 and 3 which suspected either a
head gasket problem or a piston ring fault but the customer didnt want it
fixed so i mananged to save it from the scrappers at a price of £130

its a 1.0 12v supposed to be a W reg but has a private plate which i also got with
the car this is what it was like when i got it the car has done just over 87,000 miles








once got home i took of the ugly breeze stickers on the door and debadged the bootlid and fitted my mudflaps






a

as you can see it has been in an accident but soon as i got it home i purchase a genuine GM bonnet from my boss as im a technician at vauxhall for £25 +vat

i then straightened the slam panel out and got the bonnet all fitted





once that was done i fitted some new chrome door handles and my tigra scuttle









thats it for now good and bad comments welcome
