Hi,

I bought this car 7 year ago when I was 17 year's old, even before I've got the driver's license.
It starts as an ordinary car with an 1.7 izuso diesel engine with 85 000 km and no extra equipment. At this moment the engine is the same but with 240 000km and a little more power. The exterior style has changed a little bit to a more modern style.

Corsa B 1.7D mkI

+ 1 / 3 Delivery of diesel
Air Filter K & N box with modified box
14" corsa b Sport rims with Pirelli P5000 Drago 185/65/14

I've used a grill form fk-racing to the corsa 99-03 model and modified to fits in the gsi bumper.

You can see in this photo, it doesn't fit perfect, but you just realise if you look close to the car.

Cheers

Looks very nice matey, you going to be Doing the 1.7 td conversion.

The rear interior panels like the floor door cards and the 2 bars and seperation panel behind the seats do they come in all Corsa vans/diesel in opel and vauxhall or are they just opel.
