I dont get enough time to enjoy, drive or do things to my Corsa any more so its time to bite the bullet and sell it. 1993 (L plate) Corsa Merit that has been converted to a 1.8 16v (C18XE) engine from a Mk3 Astra GSi. Not a typical thrown together smokey old redtop, its been done to a decent standard Id say. It was never built with show and shine in mind as Id rather be driving than polishing but, as you can see, it scrubs up not too bad. MOT (expiry 26 April 2015) No tax (expired 30 September 2014) Shell/Bodywork: 65K mile 1993 3-door Merit Shell in flame red Early Merit spec so the tailgate does not have a rear wiper as standard meaning no problems with a rusty wiper hole.
