hey guys my names jordan but you can all call me smithy, i'm 17 and im driving a suzuki katana 50 until november then im starting my lessons! i'm new to the forum but ive owned my corsa for around a year now. I had the corsa given to me by my girlfriends mum as she was getting a zafira for work! its in satin red which i dont see that many of around here in mansfield/nottingham! its a slow project as im currently un-employed but doing part time work with my grandad. The corsa is a 1997 1.2 8v and has done around 91 thousand miles. there is no major rust apart from the front of each door and at the bottom of each wing but nothing that cant be sorted!;)
i have debadged it and also de-bumpstripped. I have also cleaned all four wheel arches and painted black to keep it looking fresh! the next job is to underseal which i should have done by the weekend. I have just reserved some paint for pick up tomorrow to colourcode my arch trims and also bumpers!
im currently resizing the pictures so they should be up later, what size would be ideal?

Thanks mate, well today I purchased all black door cards and pockets but now just need electric window motors so if anybody has any cheap ones for sale please u2u me. I also need interior door handles with electric mirror switches so again u2u me! I have also purchased some club seats but they are much more attractive than my LS seats so that's also a gain:) I have a spoiler from a brocade sport to go on and all of this came up to the sum on £40! Was really pleased with the outcome:) pictures will be up this weekend when I get chance to fit everything
If you have anything else for sale please u2u me guys I need bargains too would be a great help!

looks smart mate, are you using photo bucket as your image hosting website? if not it might be worth a look as you wont have to re-size your photos i doubt.
