C20XEs look so much better with a lick of paint.

Sounds like an impressive spec too

No, my old corsa that I crashed got written off. Bought the silver one off Richie which had the same skirts as my old one, swapped the rear bumper over and got a different front one, then changed the seats, lights, wheels, and stuck in the standard C20XE from my old corsa. It was in the bodyshop for about 6 months (due to a few different reasons, ) then I had it back and drove it for about 2 months, then it went back to the bodyshop and had the old engine out, bay sprayed and a few bits tidied up. James was supposed to be coming to do the engine swap, but it didn't happen (cant remember why now) I ended up posting the engine to Beardy on a pallet a few months ago for him to build up, then we were gonna fit it before I went to Spain but it turned out James forgot to post the wiring loom and sensors to Beardy (Beardy thought I had them!) so it didnt happen then either. Now beardy is gonna come fit the engine on the weekend, and I think James is gonna come finish off the wiring and get it running but I need to discuss that with him and Beardy asap, obviously Id like to get it running this weekend too!
