i am currently a bit confused as to what to do car wise.
got my corsa c kinda how i like it just now, and got alot of good shows lined up for this year. but after trax i dont know what to do.
do i sell it, and buy something else, what it could be i have no idea, also i have no clue as to how much its worth 
keep it, take it off the road over the winter and buy a shitter, and put the brembo's on i have, and do a Z20LET conversion, and then only use it 6 months a year in the summer for shows etc (it'll date easily tho, be worth not as much etc??)
or do i sell it, still buy a shitter, and buy a cheapo corsa c from auction, and do a Z20LET to it with all the bells and whistles, and either make it a sleeper, or all out track car (white of course).
opinions good fellows.

but if i was start again (3rd modded c  ), it wouldnt be any show car or anything, costs too much, would be either a stock corsa c with let, or a stripped out motorsport type job.

Depends if you like your C as it is?
I was toying with the idea of either the 2.2 or the LET into mine but it still costs a fair whack 
You could always buy a cheap C and whack it in over the summer while you still have your current C to drive about in and go to shows etc

the Z20LET is not as difficult as people make out, most expensive bit is buying the donor car
i like my c as it is, but if i were to let it, i'd still be throwing money at it, painting bits etc.

So what involved with the LET into the corsa then? I was under the impression it was still a hard engine swap to do?

its the same as a b really, mounts, driveshafts, a little wiring but not much, it depends what you do driveshaft wise too.
can either do the good ol cut n sleeve method, or fit astra mk4 5 stud hubs, which means new wheels  and cav/astra shafts, and it slots together.
one mount needs made from scratch, but its nothing too difficult.
