1.0 12v GLS - Yup, it's a beast. Pic on the way of the alloys up close







Will put some more pics up soon. Still deciding what to do with it when I get some cash..Either scrap it and get a different corsa to work on as this was just bought for a run around, or actually start working on this car..Any ideas?

Nice colour - could have loads of potential imho.

Do what you will with it.

16's/17's on a 12v? Does it go faster than 60mph?

More than 95mph? You'll be lucky. Sure it isn't a 1.2 16v?

And don't drive fast/like an idiot in rush hour.
