I sold my last Corsa back in August and bought a really nice Vectra GSi in Red. I wouldn't sell the Vectra, but my mate bought a Sport a bit back with the intention of cleaning it up and selling it on. He offered me it the other day and now it's mine 
Pics:
Last Corsa -
Vectra GSi MSD00012 -
New Corsa Sport -
As I've said, I'm keeping the Vectra and making it a clean original example. It's one of only 50 Red cars, and from the registers I've seen, it's the first Red one and the 12th GSi made.
Plans for the Sport are:
* Give the engine a good service and possibly add a decent 4 branch manifold and a Matzel style inlet manifold.
* Remove Irmscher Side Skirts and Front Splitter and sell.
* Clean up body work and re-spray in original Flame Red.
* Lower suspension and change exhaust.
* Also tempted to do a few track days in it - we'll see what happens

The Vectra is a GSi, the Corsa is a Sport, lol. You're getting confused because they're both Red, ha ha.
A lad from Cockermouth way had the GSi before me. He'd changed a few bits to it, but I returned it back to standard.
The Corsa isn't the best and needs a bit of work. But, I bought it to do some work too. It should look a lot better for spring/summer.

They look good on the car, but I need the money to sort the engine and bodywork out.
