he actualy told me that he would do it for £1200 but i said £1500 cause you never no, somethink else will crop up as it always does.

yeh he's got a spare engine cause he's having a 2.0 16v turbo in his corsa,

i dont now wheather to get it done its a lot of money, specialy when ive got to spend £250 on body work (bit of rust coming through) insurance will be stupid as well
might just sell it and buy a new astra
