right i am thinkin of buying a 5 door corsa to run about it untill my turbo project is finished and im happy with it but the reason im wanting to buy a 5 door is im an apprentice welder by trade n enjoy trying to make things aswell ( key word TRYING ) so the original plan was to weld and smooth rear doors upn convert to a van n go with a euro look kind of like the 2 door one on here think its jimmy 2.1s not sure anyway the more i thought about my back up plan the more i started leaning towards this so....as it stands just now im planning on attcking a 5 door corsa B with a still saw and a grinder until it looks like a pick up

has anyone on here done this before ? that could giv me some pointers etc or even some pick of corsa B pick ups i know u get holden barina pick up but not interested in them i mean homemade bodge job pick ups?

Yeah, it looks shit because they've decided to get rid of the rear lights for some reason

the one thing that annoyed me about this is all the effort, skill, time, money and imagination that went into making that pickup, and they used the old shitty number plates

You can pick up that shape vectra for about the same price as a b.

Vectra looks well from the back but all of the converted ones look too short.

Not sure if a proper Corsa pickup is longer but they look far better. 3 door Corsas look terrible and a 5 door is the same length so will probably end up looking similar.
