If there are no cracks or anything in the chassis etc, bodywork sound enough then go for it, good luck

any idea what the engine came out of,it lookslike a mk2 cavalier sri 130 to me? are they any good?
id probaly get a gsi kit for it some comp mo's rip the roof vent off sell theosse crap makro seats fit a roll cage and get some cobra seats and get rid of the lamps and generally just tidy it up.

I thought the cavalier sri was a 16 valve. I no that the 16 valve will push your corsa to 60 in 6-7 secs and up to bout 140mph, so impressive enough. Im actually on my way to saving up for one now. Definitly get rid of the lamps and cobra seats wud be sweet. You could probably get a decent bit of money if you sell any bits that you dont want, thus making this an even better deal.

no, only late mk3 cav's were 16v's
could be the 130 or just the normal 2.0 8v, both look identical on the outside
