I really don't like the look of that car from the back for some reason 
Love the rest of it, but £10k is a tad on the pricey side imo

You'd need your head testing if you spent £10k on a Corsa B.

no matter now much you spend on a corsa its still a corsa at the end of the day loads of normal ( non car people) that know nothing about car will think why would you spend 10k on a corsa B
its a nice car but i would never spend that much on one

hmmm i def need mine testing then, so does nic, turbogav over on mig, stoner, rick draper etc then.
i think so far ive spent 10-11k on my corsa THIS time around, and its barely rolling, still needs rear suspension, fire wall, fuel tank, all brake assembly, exhaust, doors, boot, bonnet, windows etc. but £7k ish is just the xe ive built!
end of the day its a hobby and we have all spent tons on money on our cars. but like mine if i did ever sell it, id only expect about £4k completely finished.but ill write the car off before it would get sold!

I meant outright £10k. Not over time. Fair play for doing it how you want it.

Agreed. Doesn't matter what's been done to it, no way is it worth that much.

Wait, I misread the original post by Nath. Buying a Corsa B for £10k is just rediculous, spending that much one building one is completely different imo.
