do the swap, strip the cally 9best thing for them) keep the xe and sell the rest. You should see 300 back from the cally (I did and Im in the arse end of nowhere) that leaves you 500 quid and a free engine. The nuy another corsa for 300 quid and get on with it!

insurance on the pug is only 900, with 1years ncb, and a crash

corsa is added on same policy but not affected premium. clio aint insured, calibra is bit less than pug to insure...

thing is, corsa doesnt really blend in now. would be better buying another corsa as a sleeper. but ive got a thing for calibras, but not any more than a red top corsa...

swap it and use the 200 quid to get a shell for the engine


wilko_c

posted on 6th Mar 06 at 22:33

both cars are in about same condition, calibra is fairly standard with all the heated leather, and corsa is an sri, with a poor paint job, but fairly tidy.

well i bought a corsa a few weeks ago with the intention of puttin a redtop in. I paid £500 for the car. but .... ive got a friend who is willing to swap his redtop calibra and £200 (he dosent know what i paid for the corsa!!) for the corsa.

so do i keep my corsa, find another donor redtop,
buy this calibra as a donor, find another corsa,
buy the calibra, spent the money on that??

please help i dont know what to do!! :o
