The Multipla's Replacement! 1.2 4 Speed Corsa Baby!

Just picked this up...

4 Previous Owners, 118k, T&T til June, all for £250!

Must say its very clean for the mileage, its got a bit of surface rust, but the sills/arches/engine bay look clean,


Plans:

De-rust,
De-badge,
Slam it, 80mm+ springs with good shocks,
GSi interior (already agreed to pick up),
Astra GTE teardop alloys repainted white,
Back to black the bumpers ,
Black Angesl (already got),
Astra GSi steering wheel,
White Veccy Handles (already got),
Mk4 Astra Side reps

And enjoy the awesomeness that is a 1.2 engine on a 4 speed box!

4 speed? Another example of Haynes Lies... They say the Corsa comes with a 5 speed manual or 4 speed auto. No mention of a 4 speed! Although, a local chap had a Corsa 1.2 and said it was 4spd on a K Plate. I said he was just missing where 5th was!

bargain there mate...
i swear it were the nova spi's that come only with 4 speed and the carbs then corsa changed to 5 speed... maybe rong tho.

4 Speed! god the last car I had like that was a B reg 13 yrs ago,maybe in this case it was to save moneythey might have had some spare 4 speed gear boxs lying around

It will be nippy thing for a 4 speed gearbox. Good buy there Krow. Very reliable motors these. I drive the van version in 1.4 and i trust it to go anywhere. Plus its white so its a bonus. RESULT

Bet your over the moon with it

Yeah quite chuffed, the lack of power-steering will be a shock to the system but got quite a few bits for it at the spares day:
Backbox,
GSi interior,
Alloys,
Rev Counter Clocks,
Gaitor,
Shocks,

am hoping to bring it home either tonight or tomorrow so I can start on it

Looks a clean car for the money mate i had a corsa b 1.2 8v 4 speed on a N plate when i was 17 they can take a good beating and no problems at all.
