Ph1 172
Hello all, i will brief you on what has happened in the past and lead me to purchasing a Phase 1 172
I did have a EP3 however lost the back end and got fired out of a hedge doing about 85mph as i recall
Started off OEM then after feltling it ended up looking like this
and after the crash then ended up like this
So as no other parties were involved i decided the SORN the car and break it to sell as parts and mods, made money on the car and still have lots of interior bits and bobs, standard suspension left if anyone requires anything message me.
This then left me with needing a cheap run about for getting to and from work as i was in my final Year of my apprenticeship and would be getting a company once i had finished my time, but fate had something else planned for me.
I got a Corsa b cheap as chips with what the owner (78 year old) said was a large amount of miles, he had owned the car from new 1999 and this resulted in 34,000 for a 13 year old with full service history i was over the moon with it. As it had a 1.0L 12V in i went down the route of low and slow. Got some cheap coilovers with a 2 year warrenty and managed to find some Borbet A's and slammed him (Pete)
Ran Pete for a few months then at work i went to make the coffee's and found myself in the back on an Ambulance after having a fit due to my diabeties but the receptionist told the emergency services that i had a seizure thus the DVLA revoking my licence for 12 months.
Well the 12months have almost passed
Thus leading me to start looking for a new car as the girlfriend took over the corsa to Taxi me about from place to place, my director lived in the next village down so i was able to get to and from work still.
I was hunting the internet everyday and one lunch time stumbled across a standard Ph1 172, bar cone filter and Eibach lowering springs
Messaged him and on the friday went to view the car and gave the seller a deposit
But as the car was not taxed or insured we had a problem but as the seller was a police man he offered to drive the car down and only required a lift to the local trainstation to get home, well i was not going to turn him down so on the sunday afternoon after he had finished his shift he dropped the car off
Got a few bits for her
-Rear Net
-ARB
-Phase 1 Air box
-Rear strut brace
-Amber indicators
-New wheel and boss
-Aero Wipers
-Seat mounts and sliders
-Skoda Splitter
-Carbon fibre wrapped a few bits
Then started playing with her
After a good clean
New wheel & Boss
Hope you like her
p.s. Here is a photo of the corsa and the girlfriend giving him a good once over
