thought i'd better see how the corsa was, as its all alone in the garage and hasnt seen the light of day for 2 weeks

was gonna clean it, but couldnt be bothered, so instead i took the rear lights off and sent them out to Jamesnova

she's looking a bit sorry for herself at the moment.....



still bearing the marks from her last journey



also, engine isnt exactly in good working order



snd i appear to have some rust in one of the cylinder bores, which i'm sure isn't an ideal situation



not gonna be neglected anymore now, gonna rip the dash out next weekend if i can get a helping hand from Mr Broster and his world of tools

the nova is purely a runaround til the corsa is fixed and insurable, but i've had to sell loads of bits off the corsa to fund the new engine and then ive got to find more money to finish the job
