    Default Corsa Sport's, Two become one



    Once again I've bought another corsa Having sold the black sport 2weeks ago, I had too much money laying around.... Late night ebay'ing got me this.....

    Before I show you pictures, This is being broken, I'll keep the engine and whatever else for another shell I'm getting tomorrow (Hopefully ), The shell will be scrapped since its ****ed.


    Yep, It really is Nato Tank Green. Rollerd on I should add.


    Exhaust is staying with me, £130 worth of sportex.

    The bit I'm interested in though...

    Its a good runner though, Gearbox seems ok too, Clutch was apparently done recently and the cambelt too.

    Got on with stripping some of it, Needs to be keept moving for the moment though. Quick-release bumper, Held on with cable ties.


    And finally, the reason it will be scrapped, its been bummed.


    Nothing really special atm, But even Nova owners have to have a laugh at **** cars now and then. Silver one will be keept, For how long, I don't know. I'd like to get a full year out of it though.

    LOL's this way please.

    That's probably the nicest Corsa you've bought so far TBH.

    Deffo on this one, Although the upper inlet has been painted blue and then the paint removed :s, rocker cover has had a bit of polishing too. Not forgetting the poorly removed aircon :s

    Anyway, Gonna try my powerbox on it tomorrow before I rip the engine out.

    Powerbox, turbo, remote oil filter run it at 5 ish psi and you will have a quick little engine.
