I like how they look when modified tastefully.
If money was no limit I wouldn't have a Corsa

Then you would have a car that would never get driven, not through personal choice, just the fact that you couldn't drive it

i dont think theres much i dont like about corsas (except chaved up ones, they give us a bad rep)
if money was no option id look at a Z20LET conv. just to finish it off. possibly a brown re-spray

I'd build a Corsa 4x4. Though that wouldn't cost a lot and would be fairly easy...

I'm being serious. It could be done so easily 
But my car at the moment is being modded to the highest spec I could possibly want. I am cutting a few corners here and there on bits that can be upgraded in the future. For example I want some 355mm 4 pots in the future and do a full stainless steel nut and bolt re-build. The engine that's going into it is going to be a brand new 2.0 16v (fully re-conned). All the enderseal is brand new. All the paint is brand new. Everything has been powder coated to make it all look brand new. The interior is going to be brand new. I could probably say it's getting on to being a concourse car which I think is the final goal, however it's not something you can easily do in one go...
