i first see your car at donny south 2005, that was before i had really started major mods on my corsa, i left the show with one car in mind, the mauve monster, back in 2005 i dint even no about corsasport so i dindnt realise who's car it was.

following the show i wanted to push the corsa into some bodywork and i came across the bodyshop in hemel, bradshaws ? this is where i see the car again...they told me it was owned by a girl wow i though, this girl has bloody taste and no's what she wants !

anyway i didnt use bradshaws as a mate worked for midas as a prep/fitter at the time midas where doing many cars from here...

then i see the car shown on a copy of fast car, i brought the magizine just to see the feature, the girlfreind stole it because there where too many girls in the mag

love it to peices, if i didnt have a wee nipper on the way i would of seriosly thought about buying the car !

oh well to a all time great ! glad its goin to a good home...deff one of the best ever imo

Corsa's back then do seem to be alot more stunning and different to each other.

Corsa's like this are still IMO, and still appreciated, its just that there are fewer being modified in this way

I really do appreciate the transformation and progress and the patience you must have!

TBH There has always been a subtle scene, it's just now it seems to be more 'in fasion' than big body kits.

Cheers Steve- definitely a lot of patience...! It's strange how the "in mods" change though. Who knows maybe big wheels, bodykits and funky paint jobs etc will come back into fashion in about 5years or so time...

I remember in the late ninety's seeing nova's, 205's and dare i say a red 106 gti on front covers of fast car with next to no bodywork mods just performance orientated mods so in theory whats "in fasion" now has been done before anyway, big kits and huge wheels are still fasionable, it just seems the enthusiasts tend to stick with the OE look.

I used to love seeing completely 1 off styled cars and having arguments with mates guessing what they were! Memories of when i was 12 arguing with my brother whether a car was a saxo or a corsa

indeed! Remember a few weeks after mine had come out of the bodyshop I had to quickly pop into the postoffice in the highstreet and parked on a double yellow- when I got out the trafffic warden was just about to write a ticket but he couldn't tell what car it was So had a bit of a "chat" with him and he decided to waver me the ticket this once hehe.

Sorry to go on and i'm not arse licking but although i'd much prefer a nice subtle looking corsa the progress on a project like this is so much more interesting! Just keep on looking at the first pic then scrolling down to the bottom and my jam keeps hitting the computer desk!
