Hey

This is my new corsa, iv had it since the 15th of jan. Before this i had a 1.2 8v premier, had it for about 17months and did a good 21k in it!

This is my old corsa, went from looking like this


To...(does have colour coded mirrors + handle with rubstrips taken off)


Now onto my new car, picked it up from a guy in north shields for £1100. Its had the cambelt + water pump changed plus various other parts. Only covered 72k and done less than a thousand since the last mot.

I haven't done many things to it as of yet, iv added my sportex backbox off my old car but will be coming off soon as its knocking quite bad any annoying me lol also got my beesting aerial on which was from the poundshop




Just bought some 40mm springs tonight, just want it to handle a little better. I may also remove the rear sport arb as i cant feel when the back end is gonna let go of the road lol

What you think?

Si

Erm at the moment i think im just going to put springs on it. Going to take the 16v badge off too. One thing im really going to try do is bribe my aunty to swap scuttles as she has a tigra . Also fancy a set of tigra wheels but the standard sport ones will do for now.

Any suggestions though?

Give it a good polish. Get it shiny.

Other than that. Drive it and take it steady.

I've actually got 4 centre caps, but they're for the 3 spoke alloys. Get some chicken wire on it, and get the 'chrome' badges off.
