heya guys long time no speak,
just went and picked up my 2nd corsa after i sold my black sri corsa (its problems list was getting a bit long) i now have a red corsa diesil merit.. just a little something to get me to work and back again.
First impression, wheel bearings gone on it. totaly insane noise on dual carrage way on way home. Quite a bit of smoke coming out the back when foot is down on the loud pedal anyone know why this is?
couple big scatches, big dent in one side ( i reakon someone has kicked it ) drivers window doesnt do all the way up.
The plan is just to use it to get to work and back, but i know i cant keep it like that for long so ill start saving and sorting out the body work first so look out for a project thread soon, with loads of pictures.
Its nice to have a car again 
its a 1.5 diesil merit is anyone wants to know. 
cheers
Nathaniel

dont understand, its the same shape as every other corsa b 3 door. just with a diesil engine.
i plan not to spend any money on the engine just give it a dam good clean.
just had a quick look over it nothing wrongs chasis legs solid which is a bonus
just need to get that wheel bearing done insurance then tax and it will b on the road
