Picked up this bargain tonight for £150 with 3 months tax and 4 months mot

Was told it was in need of a new clutch but seems to drive perfectly fine and the bite is right at the bottom of the pedal but will have a closer look tomorrow at it.

Bodywork wise theres a few little dings and a couple of little rust patches but for what ive paid its not bad at all and nothing i cant sort out

For the price it drives perfectly but my god i forgot how boaty these things are on standard suspension







More pics to follow tomorrow once ive given it a good clean and maybe sitting 60mm lower aswell

Sat in my car waiting for my Stepdad to get back at work so i can have a look over the corsa somewhere dry. Had been parked up for about 5 mins then an almighty 'TWANG' came from the back. Got out the car to have a look and at first wasnt anything obvious untill i spotted part of the coil spring on the floor



Luckily id got some 60mm springs and shocks in the boot which id been given so may aswell put these on while i was at my stepdads work.

Got the broken spring off



No pics of it lowered yet but will be getting some tonite

Has completely transformed it tbh, 60mm lower and dressed trims has made a huge difference.

Its crying out for smoked lights and have got my eyes on a few sets here and there.

New wheels at some point so i can run good tyres and at least 2ltr brakes.


On the grand scheme of things want the following eventually.

omp rear strut brace
cav rear anti roll bar
cage
seats
back box (6x4 oval or 3 inch rolled in)
maybe gsi front bumper with just lower half painted
interior re-trim which will just cost me materials as gf does it
