Right, so story goes:
My Corsa:
Its a tad rotten, looks like its been in a crash, has a totally rotten crossmember, but can be fixed. Also has a hole in the wheel well, again, easily fixed. Paintwork is pretty shite, so good parts, some really rough bits. Also has some rust bubbling on the roof, by the windscreen rubber.
Other Corsa: http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/viewthread.php?tid=365922
Been offered another corsa, IDENTICAL to mine, cept it has SXI wheels, look mint, good tyres etc. It needs less for the MOT, has better paintwork, had less owners than mine, and never been in a crash. However, theres 122K on it, only 84k on mine. Theres rust on the drivers door and boot, but I can use the parts off my current corsa. Also, needs painted on the roof by the window rubber, where rust has been ground down, also on the B-Pillars, and on the O/S rear quater, just small parts.
What should I do? Its only £75 for the other corsa, and I rekon i can make one good car out of the two. My corsa will need loads of welding, other one needs a little on the rear valance. So basically, the other one is more "rust-free" but the bodywork is bad in places. Mine needs quite a bit of welding, and and bodywork isnt brilliant anywhere, pretty rough everywhere.
Sorry for the essay, dunno what to do.
