Well she finally RUNS! lol, runs spot on no nasty nocks or rattles etc, so looks like the gamble paid off :D. Only thing thats wrong with it is the starter motor is sticking every time it starts, and its a game of "flick the key on and off" to get it to become un-stuck. Hopefully got a second hand replacement coming next Wednesday :thumb:
And in true Dave fasion, i had to get some pictures of the work done today :D
Painted my Callipers on Wednesday with some silver Hammerite we had spare:

The backbox was absoloutley rotten so removed that, which took around 2 hours using a flatblade screwdriver and a hammer lol, so put on the only one i had for a corsa, Peco BB2, doesnt add a stupid amount of noise and was free, plus meant for a corsa too :D :

Also, the car has 20 litres (Half a tank) of fuel in, so i effectivley only paid £58 for the car :D, Also the key was cut as a freebie for some work we did in the oast for him, so alltogether, the car bought, running and all current modifications done, £58 :D
thats all for now :thumb:

NOW TODAYS PROGRESS!!!
Well today got a call from the local scrappy, "Got a corsa comign in now on the truck, want me to stop by yours see if theirs anythign you want off it?"
Though to myself, may aswell, you never know lol
So anyway he came down with it, blown headgasket but had an immaculate black interior in it, dash carpet seats cards the lot! so i thought about it for abit, then i thought "MEHHH... what the hell lol"
So spent from 9am this morning untill around 8pm stripping the interior out of the scrap one, then stripped my interior out, and then put my old grey interior back into the silver one so it was a full car, and seen as i replaced everything i got a black interior for FREE! :D
Anyway, heres some pictures of it in the scrapper:

All thats left to fit now is the two front seats, dash, and afew plastic bits, then its all done, couldnt of done it without Dave and Woolfy at work though, an ex vauxhall mechanic and an ex service and repair mechanic, what could be better lol, BIG BIG thanks to them :thumb:
looking good Dave and your a jammie git with getting the black interia for free.
The only thing i would do is take the sticker off the back window as it mess's things up imho.
At the end of the day its your car and upto you tho.
Finished fitting my interior today, got all the dash in etc and my Calibra wheel back on, looks good i think especially for free :D
