including buying my sport ive spent about, 6k to 6.5k
now. for a respray to tidy the whole car up, as it has nicks and dings on it, 2 worst places being pass front wing and pass rear 1/4 panel.
it would cost about 1k to get its exterior all spot on.
making the car total come to, 7k - 7.5k
i dont know if its worth spending it, if i sold i guess i wouldn't see it back, ideally im after a s14a. so i dunno.
honest idea's please, 
and making it standard is tricky, the inlet wont be comming off. and neither will the exhaust system.

Adam, are you on crack 
Why would you spend 6 - 6.5k on a car that you are going to sell for around 3k? Personally i'd keep it for a few years.
I only paid about 7.5k for mine in the end and that was with 24 miles on the clock.

Unless it does 200mph you've thrown 6.5k down the drain, imo.

Get the motor you actually want rather than throw more money at the one you dont.

see, itll be mid next year when its ready to sell, i cant really justyfy shunting another 1k into it,
i'd rather shove a few quid into my track car, get a s14a and have a fast road car and a chuckable track day car.

Only money i'm spending on the Corsa is for some oil and filters plus a 40,000 mile service if it lasts that long 
Just gonna keep it tidy and plough as much money as i can into savings for my next car.
