You'll be lucky to find a nice one for 2k. There's a 99/T on the trader at the moment at 3k, admittedly low miles at 35k.

Stuff doesn't have to be new either. Its plastic so its not going to have deteriorated much. Not so much that I would want to double the project price making it look standard anyway.

ps. if you're painting it and changing the engine, you may as well start with a later one, check the reg:



2001 Y Reg Vauxhall Corsa 1686 cc Envoy,3 Doors, Manual, HATCHBACK, Diesel, 26,945 miles, White, 1 Owner(s), Driver's Airbag, Multiple Airbags, Power Steering, Mileage Verified, Immobiliser. £2,699.

Black dash, airbag you can sell to a bodyshop, diesel engine will go, been nowhere, one owner, get it done.

so newest one to get about a 99/2000 model....2001

thought sports were that wee bit better than the base model for a project, component wise etc??

just i would like to do it with all new components and no 2nd hand stuff, but i know what you mean it's all plastic anyway...

No matter what i change too car wise would still love a totally mint gsi looklike xe corsa...dunno why...?
