Had been pondering the sale of my 1.0 Corsa B for a wee while and had been asking the boy who had the Astra Sport regularly if he was selling, a bit of a waiting game! Finally, he text to say he was selling and as I had a buyer already lined up for the Corsa, the deal was done :)

Myself and my Dad drove to Hereford to collect my new daily, a bit unusual, not overly pretty but I like it! Very unusual and very very clean for its age!

It's currently done just over 45k, probably nearer 46k as I now write this! I put x2 rear budget tyres on to match the front that the previous owner fitted before my purchase. I had a full service done on it using GM parts and also a GM Timing Belt & Water Pump kit fitted, for peace of mind!

The rest is mere tittivation now for next years shows as I fancied something different. Not much planned for it really but planning on putting on some 17" 4 stud Speedline Mistrals. Lowering it quite a bit to lose the wheel arch gap and improve the handling! Also made a start upgrading the sound system in it to make the driving experience a bit better too!

Bodywork wise, it's going to get the wheel arch lips painted as they are starting to bubble very very slightly so will catch them before they get worse. I had it on the ramp soon after buying and cleaned all underside and drowned it with Waxoil, in all box sections the lot

Haven't really taken many proper pictures of it to be fair, been using it daily for work and it's ideal for that!






Dan the man happy because he can come along in the big boot too lol



Will get more photos once I get it properly cleaned and some decent weather!
 
Very nice. If you swap the alloys keep the originals too. They're getting rare now the sports are, especially the estates.
 
Yeah all original parts will be kept incase of a future sale :) A bit of a hoarder anyway, don't like throwing stuff out
 
Cor!!! That's a nice one.. I'd love an estate- had a mint Isuzu'd one when it was 8 years old, but they were two-a-penny then. Not the case now!
 
Can't really fault the car in any way. Has lots and lots of history too, paperwork etc
 
I was desperately trying to buy this - Some shonky things went on from the Seller I suspect not you Vaughan hence I dont own it. I dont think ill ever know what went on but at least its a good home.

I have some EPIC shocks that would suit that car for sale your know ;)
 
niiiiiiice. I was after a Pineapple estate, as I had a Pineapple 5 door. sell it to Meeeeee
 
If the right money comes along I'd let it go. Its probably the cleanest Mk3 Estate out there today

I'd offer the £2000 it was up for sale for before you bought it. Unless you paid over the £2000
 
I paid exactly that and have spent a few quid on it so far
Servicing and Timing Belt (All GM parts)
GM discs n pads still to go on it which I have
New rear tyres fitted too..

Make me a sensible and worthwhile offer. It truely is an enthusiast car

I am a enthusiast & it is a sensible offer. As what you paid and what you put into it are 2 different things
 
Yes I agree :) I'm in no hurry to sell but it wants for very very little now
