the pics do most of the talking but heres some quick info on it

Firstly i NEVER CONVERTED IT so please dont ask me loads of questions on the conversion most of it is obvious.

ok started as a corsa 1.4 sport and was converted by the last owner that was an old guy thats now 65 and classed as dissable thus why he sold it

all the back of the cab is steel with bracing box section and well finished with grey carpet there is the odd mark and a few cracks where filler has been skimmed in on the boot before i lowered it it drove absolutly silent no rattles squeeks or creaks but its now that low and stiff the bushes squeek spray them in wd40 it stops for a week

thats all the bad points i can think of of the top of my head

ok sinse i have had it it has had

new rear shoes
new rear brake cylinders x2
fuel filter
plugs
leads
head gasket
stemseals
camshaft oil seals
inlet gaskets
exhaust gasket
rockergasket
manzel style power pox
blue silicon inlet hose
egr valve blanked off
silicone vacume hoses
decated
stainless powerflow side exit
all engine parts painted
modified x20xe plug cover
head skimmed
dvd head unit
new door speakers
6x9s
sub and amp
2 new front tyers firestones

80mm front springs
g-max front shocks
100mm rear springs
bylstien rear shocks
2.0l 16v front brakes
brake fluid change
and of corse a png sticker

the work it had before i got it

alloys
resprayed original colour
pickup conversion
iveco back window
wooden floor with drainage
tinted rear lights
recent exhaust

as mentioned there is afew marks and scratch there is a few filler cracks but all round as a whole a real tidy car

runs sweet engine uses no oil or water and pulls well

has tax test and a garages report stating that the vehical is of a safe and roadworthy manor

car has just had a fresh mot put on it as its my only car at the min and is my daily drive im after ?1800 cash which is cheap for a complete one of and such a unique car


this car is a complete 1 off and draws an amazing amount of attention theres not 1 day i have driven this without 80% of the people i see staring at it and i havent driven it yet without some1 stopping to chat to me about it

something has to go as i want a nova again and im afraid its this

will take offers please only serious people need show any interest as im not interested in timewaisters

idealy im after a nova but cash is just as good this realy is a one of and it is realy cheap in my eyes as a result pluss it benifits from cheap tax and insurance only beein a 1400 sport

^ lol yeah but how long have you been trying to sell this now Ste ;)

ste porter
04-01-08, 08:16 PM
yeah and how many times have i changed my mind when its come to shaking hands lol

but its finaly dawned on me i cant take this on the png stand at pvs08 and even though i have other reasons for selling it i think that will finaly be the reason that makes me finaly hand over the keys
will be a sad day when i let this go the last bloke to look at it even though he offered me 1700 cash i didnt sell him it because he seemed a goon and obviously wouldnt look after it 5 cars 5 months 5 accidents and 5 total losses no way was he having my baby

to be honest i would rather sell it to someone like your self mike or burgo or even baxster as it stand a chance of survival and beeing looked after well ok maybe not baxster but still you get the idea but all the lads with abit of common sense already have what they want or projects on the go

sensable offers considered you cant buy a normal corsa sport in this condition for this sort of money let alone one with a full years mot and that is now a complete one off

cant belive no one is interested
