have you seen the wheels on that? even the back ones are bent under the car :shock: i\'d leave well alone it\'d probably cost about the same as buying a working gsi to put it right. it is a little puzzling how its got to that state tho as theres no obvious damage and the airbags not gone off eiher so it doesnt look like its been a crash thats done it.

i reckon power of the exhaust was too much and just blew the axels away, tread carefully gareth :lol:

does anyone else ever get stuff from scrappys and then think... i hope no one was seriously injured in this..... not so sure i want this dash (or whatever) in my car now :?

i just check theres no blood about then its all good.
its just a shame all the gsi\'s sri\'s & sports at my local scrappy are damaged on the sides and 99% of the time taking at least one seat with it or someone has taken a seat to make a pair.

if you actually read it says the suspension has damaged. no im not plannign to buy it otherwise id of said, im sayign the parts e.g the gsi skirts/arches/spoiler/interior/engine bla bla are worth the £400 asking price. im sure theres worse corsa\'s on here then this one. :roll:

oh and gareth, i dont think the exhaust would be anygood, this is a GSI not a 1.2. so its not goign to fit unless its a universal one.

thats if the engines still in working order. it looks like a little more than suspention damage to me especially on the back as iirc the back wheels/axle only move up and down on a swing bar attached to the car body

why would i read about it, its a heap! you can tell that from the photos. hmm, i wouldntve said the skirts and bumpers were worth that either.... perhaps im just being argumentative tho :roll: from the way the car looks i doubt the engine has been looked after :?

I\'d spend my money by going to vauxhall, and asking for GSi skirts, bumper and spoiler if thats all your after.

Ooh and Tom......... a GSi back box will fit onto a 1.2 ive done it so you could sell it to Gareth!

Gsi skirts and arches are about £400 from vauxhall of what i heard, and the spoiler i think another £100 m8.

didn\'t know gsi backbox\'s fitted other corsa\'s, you always learn somthing new lol,
