ive got lots of plans for this one starting with the coilovers of my nova and the 2.0l 16v brakes, sort out the bonnet and arches and generaly give it a tidy up, also a bit of a bonus it was only and extra 10er a month over my 1.0l nova lol :)

i don't like the bonnet, spray the rear arche trims black and it'll look better.


also a bit of a bonus it was only and extra 10er a month over my 1.0l nova

it wont be after the insurance claim goes through.

i wrote off my gte, and the insurance said it would be ?50 to insure another... then a month later i got a letter saying i owed ?800 on top of the ?750 i already paid.

good luck.

they're horrible aren't they lol

the only wheel i can think of thats worse is the corsa gsi 3 spoke.

i painted them black (with a brush and some hammerite lol ) so they were less obvious :thumb:

uurrgghhh horrible a Corsa B lol

Needs a bit of work tho, arches, bonnet, rear lights; some front window wipers, ariel. Only a a few bits.

I'm sure it'll be alright once your done.

And their not as bad as people make out, their just jealous as they have less rust than a Nova.:p
