whent and picked this up yesterday morning set off at 6:30 am lol was back home by 12 then spent the day swapping everything over off my old one onto it its got 12 months MOT 6 months tax loads of old mot's service history e.t.c, inside is mint both seats are like new no wear on the bolsters e.t.c even got the original tape player lol its done 2 thousand miles in the last 4 years! so been stood a while recently its done 105,000 the body is alot tidyer dint wise compared to my other, but is suffering from the usual corsa rusting apart from the b pillars there fine  so need to sort abit of rusting on the sills both sides a small patch on drivers side quarter near door and a little bit on the door then smooth the boot as its abit rusty to apart from the rust its loads better than my other runs so much smoother and the rides so much better just need to get my post 97 bumpers on which im spraying gloss black along with the 4 arches and im thinking about putting my old skirts on aswell? then get alloys refurbed all white get some opel mudflaps opel badge for boot smooth front grill with irmscher badge then just do little things to make it look tidyer ,like spray scuttle panel gloss black spray all wipers e.t.c but first thing i need to do is get rid of all the rust and underseal underneath. shouldnt be to bad to sort the rust as blacks an easy colour to match  took a few pictures today as whent round kirkstone pass for a ride out to get used to it its abit dirty though from all the salt e.t.c opinions?
i think there hard to find in black the corsa sri's? as i hadnt seen any while looking :S
i personoly love it just the rust annoys me but be all sorted soon little project again 
pictures of the advert:
on the way back stopped over for toilet lol
