Looks like it's already been round the track a few times, notice the dents on wing?

Well it's in the process of happening......

I've heard that even though it's a reasonably simple repair with no major damage, getting all new official parts will prove too costly.

This isn't actually my car.....

It's almost identical though..... mine has no front wing dent but does have a couple of distringuishing features elsewhere

I can't complain.... it cost £200 with FSH, 1 years MOT and £180's worth of tax!!!!

Mods planned....

Uprated springs

14" Astra Steel wheels with low profile tires

GSI Steering wheel

Bucket seat/harness

we're just breaking down my stepson's corsa so we have:

Lexus style rear lights
SXi rear spoiler
15" alloy wheels
tinted rear windows, though not sure if they are bonded onto the car

I'll try and get a picture of the beast later..... (just noticed mine hasn't got a sunroof either!!)

I'm thinking of taking it to the Ring as soon as the project is complete.... It's surprisingly torquey (sp?)

Cheers mate....

I think it will make a great "sleeper".

As I said.... Mines not as good as the one in the pic!!!!!

BUT mine is more RA than that one!!!!

Wind-up windows, no central locking, abs, aircon serious weight saving.

I'm thinking about removing the spare wheel and carrying a can of weld?
