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 :lol:,
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 money:lol:they might have had some spare 4 speed gear boxs lying around :lol:
 
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
 
thats nice im looking for something similar but cant find out :(
 
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.
 
Love the old corsas and youve got it in the best colour.
 
Thanks for the comments guys, well finally got it home from my garage on monday after the multipla went, and just was i was moving it out fo the garage, bang, the garage door slams onto the rear quater, completely winddless day as well, so have to fork out £30 to have it pulled out :doh:
