got the satin red corsa with standard everything apart from its lowered all round 60 mill on fk shocks and springs ,i swapped my old 1.6 8v for it, also as part of the deal i kept my slabs
first thing i did was get rid of the horrible standrd Ls seats and bought some calibra leathers
then went to scrap yard and bought my c16se engine out of astra
also bought some 2.0 cav sri breaks
bought a tin of underseal , a tin of satin red paint
and started to do my conversion
wanted it to run propperly before i was going to clean it all up propper .
then after 2 days my car was broke so firstly thought it was the gearbox , so i bought a new one and then started to strip car to fit my new gearbox which was a f15cr instead of the f13 i had on at the time . Turned out whilst stripping the car it had snapped part of the drive shaft on the inner cv
at this point i had been buying loads of other bits for it so thought might aswell do the conversion again and clean everything up while im at it
CLEANED ENGINE BAY DE GUNKED IT UNDERSEALED PARTS OF IT AND RESPRAYED IT
FITTED ENGINE
PAINTED ALL DRIVESHAFTS , HUBS AND INNER WHEEL ARCHES BLACK
THEN I BOUGHT A ROOF LINING, A,B,C PILLARS AND A ANTI ROLL BAR AND PAINTED THEM BLACK
WENT OVER TO IANS AND BOUGHT
CORSA SPORT WHEELS , SRI DOOR CARDS,SPORT REAR BENCH , BLACK BOOT PLASTICS AND A FEW OTHER BITS
ROBBED A PUNTO WIPER OFF MY MUMS CAR
BOUGHT A EXHAUST AND CAT OFF EBAY FOR £30 DELIVERED 
PAINTED MY BACK BOX IN SOME SILVER ZYNC STUFF
and ended up getting it running and has been good since then
DECIDED TO TAKE REAR BUMPER OFF AND HAVE A LOOK FOR SOME ROT DIDNT FIND ANY THO
LOOKS LIKE THIS NOW
PLANS ARE
either german rears or mhw lights
d.i.y. depos
when ive got all my black plastics delivered fit them
paint engine and gearbox up ( summer time )
maybe rear disc conversion one day - my mate will end up doing it as im no good with that stuff
cone air filter
paint wheels in ford gunmetal grey
book car in for wax oil ( awaiting phone call back to see when i can take it in )
get new front wing
post 97 bumpers or gsi bumper
wire up central locking out of corsa with it as standard - no universal shit
TAKE TO PVS
thanks for looking

ive got a remote central locking kit off ebay mate, i think its better than the std vaux one tbh, was easy to fit and only cost about 40 quid, and its remote whereas std vaux ones arent
