Hi everyone...
Right so i started with this, and it lasted me 4 years, i got it to looking like this and thought i need something quick!

Sold the corsa and bought .....
(http://i868.photobucket.com/albums/ab243/adnun89/IMAG0454.jpg)
The car was and still is spot on, full service history with 104,000 on the clock, 2 previous owners me being the 3rd, and a 3 door in black woohooo
only problem it had was temp sensor and thermostat which was fixed in no time with the help of ian007miles
first thing i had on my mind was changing the alloys, so £700 later this was the result
