    Default corsa pickup 1400 sport want a nova

    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

    call me 07917733821 or pm me

    yeah and how many times have i changed my mind when its come to shaking hands

    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
