Hi everyone. Thought I'd make a project thread for mine and my brothers new Corsa Club. We both had Corsa B's a few years back which are both now in the scrapyard in the sky. You'll probably remember mine, but Luke's wasn't around for that long as he quickly upgraded to a C.
Here's a pic of our past and current cars.
My bros Corsa B SXi
My bros Corsa C Sxi
My bros third Corsa VXR
My bros current Astra VXR
My first Corsa SXi
My current Astra VXR
And our GSi we had about half a year ago
Anyways.. we both come to an agreement that we needed another one. We said to each other that if we was going to get another,we needed one with electric powered steering so there's more room in engine bay for the conversion. We wanted either silver, black or a blue one. We came across a few but wasn't happy with them.
A few weeks went by and Luke found one from Wakefield that was about half hour drive away. We went up last Thursday and ended up getting it for £300. There's a few rust bits here and there but nothing we can't sort.
It's a 2000 year Corsa B 1.0 12v Club. It's completely standard which is what we want. It comes with electric windows and electric powered steering.
Here's some pictures from today.

You could have had my old one... I went to buy it back a few month back for £100 but decided against it, mileage was still in around the 30k mark too... He gave it to a garage and they sold it to someone for £200 I think. Not fussed I sold it for £1000
Looks sad tho now

Yeah the other owner reversed it into a wall, it did have a smashed light before but the new owner must have replaced that. Otherwise the body work seemed quite honest still. It's no doubt still immaculate underneath
