    I have no fondness for a corsa b. But this is one of the best genuine sleeper builds I've seen. From the side, and particularly from behind the performance potential is almost unnoticeable- even to another petrolhead. The intercooler though on show is very stealthily done too - the cut numberplate is genius!

      my friend had a polo with 500hp, and it was not fast (im not sure sleepser is the right word)
      it just went sideways when it got gas
      those light wieght cars often end up, outside the road in a crash with a long skid mark..
      cause they have no weight to keep the car on the road and the power in the ground (that also goes for stopping power)
      i have driven 200m with the car skidding backwards, the cops did the mesurement, and that was a standard 206 that saw a bit of rain in a turn..
      the car ended up in the busstop where the bus had just picked up people, i was not the driver

      @@tomparker962 sleeper is designation car enthusiasts give to cars that SEEM slow and ordinary, but are very fast.

    That's a tremendous wee motor, super work there. That number plate 🤩 The conversion looks very, very well done. Very close plate to my old B that I had for 11 years and only sold last year W226LBL. Only a 1 litre mind, although I've got 2 Saab Turbos now, I've kind of done things a bit weird there!

      Same with Mitsubishi Colt, 1990.-1994. Hadn't seen those in while, but by pure luck- I got 1992. Colt with NO RUST on underbody... Just couple rust spots, where paint was scrapped on panels. No cracks on dashboard.

      @@greywolf88+ Oh now you're takin me back dude! In my Early/Mid Teens, one of our mates was a few yrs older 18-19. He past his test & acquired the use of his dads (Nearly New 1995) (Mitsubishi-COLT-GLXI!) It was a (1600cc 16-Valve!) & it was all "White" with some type of "Sports-Trim", Rear hatch Spoiler & Sporty looking bumpers etc. Man what an understated car! That thing sounded like it would rev for ever!. It had no "Turbo's" Or "Superchargers" But it used to beat all kinds of quick cars at the time!. & handled like it was on rails! The things he got that engine & car to do.. were insane! It NEVER BROKE OR FAILED Even Once!
      His dad was a posh old dude who had no clue of the crazy stunts his little "Pride & Joy" was performing every night LoL!
      Ya would of thought he'd at least start asking questions when he was having "New" Front Tyres Fitted After Just (6-Mths!)..But not a word LoL!

    Excellent build Im not generally a corsa or Vauxhall fan but do appreciate peoples hard work. Love the fact that he's thought about maintaining it and generally trying to improve on other builds. Ive owned converted cars and trucks and seen loads of conversions. Helped build etc. A lot of the time the only way to maintain certain things is to struggle or remove the engine, have to unbolt everything turn it in engine bay etc. seen so many where they've just wanted to get the engine in the hole and then make do. Can understand the keenness to get it done but its those details that make owning it after the build better. I currently have a mk1 Ford focus with a cossie in it. Mechanically the conversion was very good, the wiring.....thats another story.
