In 2008 I managed to get hold of a 1.2 8v merit corsa off a family member. the plan was to re-build the engine as it had been ran in to the ground by the previous owner and run it as my first car for a while until i had the money to buy a nicer car but after passing my test and really starting to fall in love with my little merit i have decided to tidy the car up and get it looking smart before i am able to afford maybe an engine corversion.

When i first got it it was completely standard and just used as a car to go pick the kids up from school in and go to the shops. I decided to fit some nova GSI alloys to it that my brother had bought for his car but was selling them as he was looking for a new car. Once i had passed i decided it was time to get new bumpers and a little gsi spoiler to tidy it up which is all now pretty much ready for a local paint shop to paint for me.

So pictures of the story so far:

How it stood once the engine was re-built and the alloys just fitted

After some bumper care and an exhaust tip to tidy it up.

I then fitted the clock display as it didn't come with one and also a cigarette lighter for my sat nav. Also replaced all of the bulbs on the heater control panel so they light up.

Then fitted some Angel eye head lights placed a MIG sticker on the front and rear screen (MIG thing on number plate is PS) and now i am getting some bumpers wheel arches GSI spoiler painted to colour code the car and generally tidy it up a bit.

I Then added some colour coded bumpers and spoiler and some mud flaps, Really like how it looks just a bit high

So after having it like that i decided i needed new shocks and springs so purchased some shocks and springs off a guy on MIG that were -40mm and got them on.

This is the most recent picture of it (was taken about 2 weeks ago)
It really needs a clean but let us know what you think!!!

Thanks Daz.
