But other half took a shine to it so decided to keep it and use it as a run about,
When i got it it had been stood for 3 years and had a cracked screen from a roof slate landing on it and a badly faded bonnet and odd patch of rust here and there mainly OSF wing and round rear spoiler,
I removed spoiler and found it had been off before and somebody had just used black mastic to refit it and it was rubbing on boot lid hence the rust spots,
I dropped on a wing and bonnet at a local scrappers in right colour (well almost) and got them swopped with new arch trims, while i was changing wing i pulled both bumpers off and sorted a couple of rust patchs behind bumpers,
A friend was breaking a redtop corsa at the time so i aquired the a set of 256mm front calipers off him as having had 3 corsas before i know how bad the brakes are,
I then had the issue of the standard 14's wouldn't fit so managed to aquire a set of astra sxi 16's cheap and had a set of 195/45/16's from another project so stuck them on it along with some 20mm lowering springs to replace the snapped rear spring,
This is how it sits today after a friend sorted paintwork on boot lid and rear quater and we had afternoon with buffer and polish
