After going off Corsas, i bought an Impreza WRX, but i'm really wanting to get one again.
Had the whole bodyit thing before(still got it in the garage:look but now i want a standard looking quick one...
What you lot recomend? Get a corsa and do it myself or just buy one?
Bare in mind... im 21 so got insurance, petrol etc on the scoob to think of... dont wanna be skint.

Check in classifieds, if you have'nt got time to do it yourself will probably be cheaper to buy one that is already done if you can.

You can insure mine very cheaply if you can put up with a 1.0 engine, only a bit slower than a scooby

Who's to say that the XE wasn't ragged in it's original car if you buy the engine on it's own?
