Just getting a idea of prices for the sort of car i have in the thread title, looking at buying one for a collage project and to fix up and use as my first car. If anyone could tell me what sort of price i should be looking to pay. Also any links to sales would be appreciated. Im from the bucks area so couldn't pick up from anywhere like Scotland

Anything from £200 to £2000 really, then we're even talking to Corsa C money.
AutoTrader.co.uk is very good. You can set your budget, how far you want to travel, everything.
Say your budget was up to £500, every car would be Corsa B so you wouldn't need to worry about that.

Rust on older cars, particularly your budget.
The 1.2 8v and 1.4 8v's are generally quite strong engines. Obviously if it's high mileage you want to check things like service history and whether the cam belt has been done
