Great presenting Adam, wishing you big success with the channel! Also, you're so lucky to have the NC500 so close to you, I want to move to Scotland for that and the roads in the Cairngorms!
Ahh mate bless you you’ve just melted my heart man. I’ve just found your channel and subscribed. What a great little first car it’s taken me back to when I had one in the exact same colour as this one. I loved it until I sent it up a tree on the M6 going into to Birmingham, now that was so much fun man. It went like a teenage wank as well for a 1.2. I can’t wait to see what you do with it. Set up a gofundme so we call all help you reach that goal of having the best modded Corsa b on UA-cam ❤
That's a brilliant idea buddy. I really hope you enjoy it because it deserves to carry on because most of them were trashed by boy racers lol. And it will be a good investment because a good one will only go up in value. Enjoy buddy and stay safe.
Ah that takes me back! My first car was a 1.2 Corsa B in the same Arden Blue (best colour 😎) in Club trim. Did quite a few mods to it before it rusted into the ether bless it 😢
@adamgrierson23 good man! The underside is where you need to watch on these, particularly around seat belt anchor points. Would be a good idea to treat and then underseal the whole underside of the car - could be a good video too! Best of luck with the project anyway pal! 👍
I ran a few tests shortly after buying it, the head gasket seems to be okay, I flushed the cooling system and filled it with fresh coolant and it hasnt overheated since 👌
I had a Corsa B as my first car back in 2004-2005, it was also up for £900, and I drove it and it was a pile of rubbish. So I offered £600. The guy said "Nah.... £630!" and I drove it away. Should have been a major red flag that they accepted such a low offer! 😂😂😂
Belter video lad, but unfortunately not the cheapest Corsa B in the country, I recently just bought a Corsa B Club 2000 X plate with the 16v engine, sunroof, almost same spec as yours with ONLY 28k miles I've done 2k since owning X825VCA is the reg if you wanna check, I only paid £500 off my neighbour, if anyone can beat that let me know
I fully understand why you're doing mods on the car. You're a young lad .but it's also a shame because it's such a nice example of one what you are doing is devaluing the car the purists would much prefer it stock. And it's your car so you can do as you please with it but me personally would have kept it factory not boy racer.
I totally understand where your coming from, it is definitely worth more stock but I'm bearing that in mind while building it, 99% of the things I'm doing I'm making sure they can be reversed back to standard for if the time comes to give it up!
Well presented video. I'm a VW boy through and through, but I do have a soft spot for these. Best of luck with it in the future
Aye I’ve gave ya a sub pal, hope yer channel grows. Popped up on my opening screen 👍
Much appreciated!
Cool wee car m8! Used to work on these when they were brand new & in the best colour too ❤
You Tube recommended coming in clutch. Loved the video mate. 👍🏻
Thanks, Glad you enjoyed it ☺️

Thanks very much! Can't wait to experience the roads in my souped up corsa b 😎

Found a few rust spots on mine so far, been repairing them to the highest standard so this car lives forever!

Great cars - my 1.2 was still running at 192K miles when I sadly had to let it go. Good luck with the project 👍
192k is crazy impressive for a little corsa, wish it was still around 😔
all the best Adam
Thanks!
Nice video, just subscribed 👍
Thank you ☺️
I have a Corsa B 1.2 8v Merit. Ive got some very big plans for it in the future
Little gem needs a vxr engine in it 🤩
Looks mega cute!! 47k miles though 😳😳
nice purchase...subbed.greetings from barry island
Thanks and welcome!
I had a corsa club for my first car in 2005. Stuffed it straight into the back of my mates fiesta. Good little cars.
😂
Want to watch out on the over heating as it can blow you’re head gasket and could be a reason it was originally for sale
I ran a few tests shortly after buying it, the head gasket seems to be okay, I flushed the cooling system and filled it with fresh coolant and it hasnt overheated since 👌
Cracking cars. Had about 30 of them If not more. Endless amounts of things you can do to them.
That's the problem I can't make my mind up with what to choose 😂
My cypress green 1.2 8v cost me 400 big ones, on 95k now

Be very careful using that daily, if involved in a crash with todays cars at 60mph you'll be lucky to survive, cool yes, dangerous! very, be safe
It's pretty clean for a Vauxhall most are rotton
Needs a gsi body kit, and please remove the sunstrip man, typical 17 year old mods ent the one

That's a great find! This is the cheapest one I could find however I did buy it a few months ago, hope you enjoy it!

Let the lad enjoy his car. They aren't exactly a mk1 lotus cortina.
And I own a 1999 Corsa B SXI.
