Hey there folks, just wondering. I'm on the look out for a genuinely rust free Corsa b that's in excellent condition.
Do they still exist? Ive been haunting ebay/carandclassic/autotrader etc and can't seem to find anything that fits the bill. Model type is unimportant and most things will be getting changed "wheels,suspension,interior,engine etc. Just want a superb example to start with or am I asking too much?

Bit extreme but import one from south africa,im sure they kept making them up until 2006 so it shouldn't be hard to find a minter if really want one.

Most are rotten now, or claim/look to be mint on top but the owner has skimped on chassis repairs. Scary when some people run high power engines in them too.
Mine is a constant battle, had the front crossmember replaced in 2012 and the rear valance repaired. Lots of other usual Corsa B rust spots have had to be sorted out as well.

Yes, in Australia.
My old GSi was rust free apart from a spot where the paint had chipped, and the new one seems a pretty rust free so car.

No Jack, was a dark metallic blue, basic model.
There was a thread on here about it.
