Hey guys, been here a while and have now decided to make a project, so here goes....
Started off in September of last year when i bought a 1.0l white corsa B was in pretty much perfect condition and i loved it! only thing needing done was the timing chain changed, i actually never got round to doing that
So i had, had the car for about 3 weeks when one day on my way to work on a sunny saturday morning at 9.13am i crashed at around 55mph round a corner span 180 degrees into a hedge, bounced off the hedge and span another 180 back ut onto the road. Fortuanatly i was wasnt hurt and their was nothing coming the other way.
This is how the car look after......
I was really sad and tried to fix it but although it doesnt look too bad their the rear axle and whole chasis had bend and the car wouldnt be safe to drive, so unfortuanatly and i am very sorry to say but the car got scrapped but... i managed to strip the car so all its organs to live on and help other Corsa B'sssss.
A few weeks later i bought another Corsa B this time in black its a 1.2 sxi 16v, got it for £650 in perrrfect condition, i still have the car today
I dont have any pictures of it when i got it but if you can imagin a total standard corsa B in black thats pretty much it.
So i got to work a little and done a few modifications....
Lowered 60mm rear
Lowered 40mm front
Corsa C SXI alloys
Debadged rear
6x9's parcle shelf
kenwood CD player
Here's some pics i know how you guys LOVE pics!!
One slight problem went wrong last week and my ICV (Idle Control Valve) broke i think it was the motor, so i used the guide on here (amazing) and fitted a new one and it now works a dream
I took a couple a snaps of me fitting it...
Ok so i have a few more things planned (secret)
AND.... i know about the front wheel arches their awful 1st thing on my to do list, but i have only just got a new job after losing my job about a month ago, so when i get enough money saved up i will be doing a little more
Yess i know it needs a clean haha!
Thanks for your time reading any comments and ideas more than welcome
Luke.

looks nice mate, need to blacken up arches i think, think sxi alloys would look nice in white too, but they still look mint as they are tbh!
PVS 2011 was the best!

Yeah i was going to do that or just buy new ones only like £20 of ebay for a set.
And i was thinking about doing the alloys black but i do like the idea of white better tbh!
Thanks guys.
