some of you might remember my old (chav) corsa below,




well after 10 years without a corsa in my life this rolled into the garage for a MOT, failed on suspension and exhaust, Que me with an offer to the owner of £40 and here we have my new corsa, bodywork is a bit rough round the edges could do with a good clean up and a polish, overall not the worst i have seen, chassis is solid and engine bay is mint,

this one is probably going to go down the sleeper route as i already have the redtop and everything i need lying in the garage for it, time will tell tho,






out with the heat gun to the plastics,

For £40 I can't go wrong really, will get it stripped and see what it's like but from the outside it looks good! Just use the heat gun to restore the bumpers to black, it works really well,

That's the plan for this one mate but things could definitely change, I can never make up my mind, still can't believe the owner accepted £40 for the car.
