- ✓Rear arches, sills, front chassis legs and fuel-filler areas should be checked before the engine even starts
- ✓Expect weak idle control and ignition issues on small petrols, but structural rust is the deal-breaker
- ✓A car that still feels sharp usually has already had springs, dampers and bushes done
- ✓Do not assume a tiny old Corsa is cheap to restore if welding is needed
