alright folks

need a bit of advice when for when i go to look at a corsa sport on what i should look for.

ive always been a ford man and knew a bit about them but not much about corsas.

i believe that cracking on the b pillars is common are there anything else i should look out for?

anything will help

cheers

andy

yea, as is the front crossmember. They are usually okay, and once you get it back, take the bumper off, wire it back and waxoyl it.

Sills and chassis legs. Also, check for the obvious accident damage. I've seen a few that mates have bought where the box sections in the engine bay have been squashed due to a minor collision.
