worth the money?

Post by liam_derv »

hi guys, im recently new to corsa b's, I bought my first one last week, but its only a 1ltr, so ive been and bought a slightly modified 1.2 16v.

im just wondering if its worth it, its taxed till jan, and MOT'd till next june in ardenBlue, fully stripped interior with two bucket seats, 5 point harnesses, cut down dash, side exit exhaust, lowering springs, drilled front bumper for cooling, 3.0ltr brakes on front, its practically ready for a c20xe dropping in to make it ready for road/track use.

Image



just wondering if it is actually worth £350. im known for buying ringers, hence owning 6 cars and im only 19.. any help would be appreciated. thanks guys.

Hi Imo i wouldn't touch it even for the price. It sounds like its been nailed cus its been stripped inside and why put a large brake conversion on such a small engine unless its been raced alot but that's just me. I would have a look how many owners from new mileage and to put a red top in needs more than bigger brakes. But its upto u buddy
If it ain't green and black send it back :D

You could sell some of the parts unless your keeping the track look

But car looks really cool

I might do eventually, work is kinda taking over atm. and ive insured it, but theres a slight problem with the fueling I think, it used £25 worth of petrol to do 35 miles... hahhaa!
