hello, sorry if this is the wrong section.

here is my car at the moment



unfortunately due to being made redundant i can no longer afford insurance on it

im looking for a 1 litre corsa b, nice cheap and cheerfull, which i can afford insurance on just to get me to a-b so i am not losing all my indepedance

i quite fancy doing it as a rat/euro type thing, not looking to throw money at it really

so basically what brings me here is i want a cheap scrap value corsa b

but what common problems should i be looking for whilst viewing these corsa's?

i dont mind it looking like its just been crashed, as long as it is legal and safe

thanks

mike

its lowered 60mm, but i put a rear rs disc beam on which lowered it about another 10mm on the rear, the alloy are league racing ones, i had to sell them due to needing some money

idling- mk6 escorts have that problem too, very common, i have only ever owned a escort, so not got a clue about other cars really lol
