Project log ( With Pics )

Post by Element X »

Hey everyone ive been meaning to do this along time ago but i aint had my camera so here are some pics and a back story of my car.

Model : Corsa B 1.6 16v Sxi
Engine: X16XE
Age: 1999

The Car is completely stock apart from the newer Corsa alloys and a powerflow backbox ( which is rather old :L )

I bought this car for £150 with a blown head gasket which i have fixed and rebuilt and is working perfectly with no faults :) ( thankfully )

Cars got a bit of rust here and there

i dnt have my license yet test is in march so i am driving it on L plates

heres the pics of it now and as i add things on i shall take more and add them in

OFFICAL DVLA DATA:
1414 - corsa gsi's on the road in 2008.
735 - corsa gsi's currently on the road and 436 SORN
Basicly you would have to be a right tw*t to break one for parts :rant:
