well this is my first propper thread soo here goes
i brought a 1.2 corsa b ls (m reg) off my brothers friend for 300 pound Had half a tank of petrol 6 month mot 2 months tax all old mot certificates, also came with a mutant cd player and a 12 inch sub with a 350 watt amp all wired up, was lowerd all around on 30-40mm on lowering springs, 2 ltr front brakes, had a caviler exaust system (cut and welded) and a scorpion back box, and was driving on 15 inch cesaros all with good tread, the car had also recently had a new head gasket also it was imobolised. soo i thought it was a quite good deal soo i went and had a look at the car and decided too buy it 
it was night when i went too have a look but heres how it looked
soo the next day my dad drove it to our house and it looked like this
soo i decided too get too work on it soo i polised the front bonnet, debadged the boot, fitted clear side repeaters and brighter white bulbs, also took the stickers off the windows and fitted red seat covers (had left over from my old red corsa b4 it got scrapped)
then it looked like this the bonnet still looks dull (these pictures taked few days after)
then i got insured on the car and took it out that night and decided to take a few pictures (nothing spesh)
then nothing else was done too the car and was driven around how it was oh heres a picture of the car when i drove it derby too take my friend too passport office (taken out the window of a three story building on my phone)
then after that a few weeks later i was down my friends farm as he has 269 achres of land soo we decided too see how it felt when it was abused (bad choice)
THE RESULT
(Pictures Taken When Drove It Home)
Not Good... after removing the bumper and takeing the radiator out heres what was done
and well a few days after leaving the car on the garden my friends vandalise it -.- (the drivers side and roof was fine untill they got there hands on it)
well thats the story of the m reg corsa :/ the damage was only done too the front and the passangers side me and my friend was both alright (luckly) and well the car had a snapped drive shaft and damages rear quater but now im looking for another corsa b project.
