Originally bought the Corsa as a runaround, but it has ended turning into a bit of project to tidy it up.
As it started, apart from having 4 13" steels, 2 had bald tyres so swapped them for the astra sport steels as i had 2 with decent tyres sitting-

Then came the Cavalier fans on the back as i wanted rid of the 13's, and a set of 40mm lowering springs, also the paint was cut back by hand with the help of a mate, as i couldnt get a polisher to do it at the time, not a very good pic though-

I then went to sort the bits of rust around the car, so i ended up pulling the badges off to find greener paint than the rest of the car, so i went to my work and used a polisher for the first time ever, wasnt the best of jobs but was better than it was before-

I then decided to buy a polisher and have a go at cutting the paint back properly, and managed to get a set of wolfrace voodoo's for the car-

Next job will be to sort the small bits of rust around the car, i'd like to keep it as well as having the nova and put a bigger engine in, but i dont have the space, so once the Nova's on the road, the Corsa will have to go.
