Thanks mate i have the xe lying in the garage just need the time to get everything sorted out and see what else I need to collect

Get that xe in it but if you get stuck with the 1.0. Wiring give me a call

id try going for a LET if you can, always wish i had gone turbo from the off (but i was an apprentice when i was building mine way back when so couldnt afford the engine lol)

That's the plan for this one mate but things could definitely change, I can never make up my mind, still can't believe the owner accepted £40 for the car.

and i thought i did well to get a non MOT'd corsa for £150 ten years ago, looks exactly like my old corsa bumblee before i set to work on dropping an XE in it

Of course you can't, I think anyone would of paid 5 times that tbf.

For £40 I can't go wrong really, will get it stripped and see what it's like but from the outside it looks good! Just use the heat gun to restore the bumpers to black, it works really well,

Just googled it bud, never seen that method of restoring trim before. Il keep an eye on this thread :)

Looks orite that mate, clean enough like isn't it. What's the crack with the heat gun on the bunpers?

some of you might remember my old (chav) corsa below,




well after 10 years without a corsa in my life this rolled into the garage for a MOT, failed on suspension and exhaust, Que me with an offer to the owner of £40 and here we have my new corsa, bodywork is a bit rough round the edges could do with a good clean up and a polish, overall not the worst i have seen, chassis is solid and engine bay is mint,

this one is probably going to go down the sleeper route as i already have the redtop and everything i need lying in the garage for it, time will tell tho,






out with the heat gun to the plastics,
