im, thinking of restoring a GSi,
how much do they go for, a decent looking one with 110k
basically im trying to work out costs, and whether it is a good investment
i would say 1700 for an immaculate one that has been look after right?
thanks for all your help!

It wont be an investment as you will never make your money back. First thing would be engine re-build on 80% of them still on the road

Restoring a car is not an investment.
Botching it up and selling it on might possibly be, but if you want to end up with a mint car worth more than what you put in, don't try it with a 110k Corsa.
