Red M reg corsa sri xe for sale.
I bought this in April as a project to do up over the summer and winter but due to owing so much money out to people it has to go
The lad I bought it off knew very little about it but I've been told it has an early xe (not sure on mileage),calibra 16v brakes and an f20 gearbox.It came with a few receipts and the head gasket was done about two months before I bought it.
Its not lowered but comes with 16" corsa c sri alloys with the usual scuffs.
Inside it has a cd/dvd player and a motorised monitor but that isnt installed at the minute as I had just started to modify the dash to fit it in.The dash has had the centre vents cut out for some gauges and I was going to fibre glass the MFD on the top to create a frame for the monitor but will not have the chance.A new centre panel is a tenner from the scrappy.
It has done 91k miles and the MOT runs out next feb with the tax running out in feb as well.
The bad bits are that it came with red front arches instead of black and I have taken the passenger side off but not got round to fitting a new one and the drivers side is still red,1hrs work and £10 from the scrapppy.
As mentioned before about the centre panel and the drivers seat bolster has gone as well.
The engine always started first time but recently takes a few turns every now and then and it sounds like the starter motor struggling.
The lad before cut some holes in the parcel shelf for some 6x9s so still has the holes there,again a couple of quid from a scrappy and the bonnet release cable needs replacing but you can still open the bonnet ok.
Its a great car and just needs a bit of time and cash spent on it.
I bought it for £1050 and have spent about £250 on it since.
Asking price £900 ono.I've tried to be as honest as I can and if someone wants a cheap xe or a project its perfect.
My mobile is buggered at the min so u2u for any more info.

Right I've just had a mate look at it tonight and he reckons its going to need front pads and a tyre on the front in the next 1000 miles.
£800 buys it with the dvd/cd player/monitor and spend £200-300 on it and a bit of tlc and you've got a decent xe corsa.Theres 1.4 sri's going for the same price in the trader and on ebay.
this is the dash as it is,I cut it out to stick one of these in from ebay.
The front arch
The rust on the tailgate
I've tried to as honest with this car as I can cause I hate getting messed around when buying cars myself,I will try to answer any questions but like I said the lad I bought it off knew very little so unfortunately thats the situation Im in plus I have the mechanical knowledge of a spoon.When I bought I did a hpi check and it came back all clear.
My mobiles up and running so you can get me on 07921871608.
