Basically Im on the hunt for a newer Corsa Shell to stick the LET lump into.
All i have on my mind is that its got to be Post - 97.

But thinking about it, my old LET Shell is a P reg/96 where as my green one is R reg/97, so one years difference and the LET shell is rotten as you like, but compared to my Green shell which is a year newer, the green shell is so much cleaner its hard to believe theres one year in difference between the 2 shells.

My question is, Was there any changes made between the pre-97 and post-97 Corsa's?

I know as such the bumpers, and trim etc where changed but was there any changes made chassis and body wise? To ensure that rot wasn't as much of a problem? If that makes any sense

There are structural and spec-related alterations but nothing in that would affect corrosion. I would imagine the difference is down to how both cars have been kept over the years.
