HELP ME!! gsi white

[khalford]

hello everyone, am new to this and just want help on a car am looking at!!

looking at a corsa b 1.6 gsi 16v (1993?)??

just wondering did they make gsi in that shape, though it was only sport??
whats the price range for the gsi in white??

and any tips u may have for me
thanks everyone ..

They were made in 93 but I've never seen an original in white so it's probably being resprayed or reshelled

Price range is anywhere from 500 to 2500+ tbh depending on condition and originality, there was one sold a few weeks ago that was 100% original and was dry stored most.of it's life for a little over 3k

Rot is there main problem with being 20 yo it's to be expected tbh, if it's been repaired ask to see the welds, if there not painted or undersealed it'll need welded again in the near future

Make sure engine is original if it's not a c16xe it's not worth anything more 1-1200 Imo anyway but personally I wouldn't spend 500 on one without the original engine

Got a link to it or any pictures?

[khalford]

thanks mate that helps ALOT

how can you tell if its the original engine ?

and got my pictures is my girlfriends dads but it needs work done to it

needs waterpump, brakes, and cambelt change but his not had time or money

so though i save the poor car lol

[johnny]

Couple of ways to tell

This is the c16xe that it should have


And this is the x16xe that came in the sports and tigra


The main two differences are circled, ignore the one to the right that was just to show someone else what to look for for abs

brilliant mate

i have a look when i go round there next,

how much do you think i should pay for the car with the problems is has ??

i get some pictures when i go round and upload them to show you

is there any many problems that go wrong or could do with upgrading to make it last that bit longer

[johnny]

Well it's hard to say without going over it, but take you've atleast 2-300 quid to put into it as soon as you buy it but as I said in the first post rot is there big problem, take roughly 25 quid a patch and 50 for a hole you don't have to find much rot to be in hole for a couple hundred quid

[khalford]

yeah well i have got a welder and all that so if it comes to it i get my brother to do the welding for me and sort the ones out if there is some,

thanks for the help i keep you updated with the info and pictures as you asked in first post.

and thanks for the help been looking about all day lol
