The silver car is great, love it to bits. It looks great, runs with no problems & is very good on fuel.

However, the TB'd engine would finish it off nicely. Would make it extra special having the nice sounding engine & good performance to go with the looks. I know its a bit of a cliche but it does look like it should have one

That then leaves me with the white shell. Already bought a few bits for it but nothing major has been carried out yet. The bits I have bought could easily be sold

It would be nice to have a weekend car that stays in the garage but I have to take into account the costs of owning/running/maintaining 2 cars

Could still keep the white car, but just build it to a lower spec. If I built it up to how I'd want it I'd end up with 2 nice cars but a big empty hole in my pocket

Plus the more I spend on the white one the more protective I'll be over it. I did want a slaggy fun car to use on track days & a bit of weekend fun, but I can see me not wanting to risk a fully rebuilt & resprayed car on the track

put it in the white one. you may have a bigger hole in your wallet, but you'd have 2 cars, and therefore the hole would be more justifyable. surely you'd want the engine to the same spec in the silver one.

maybe fit a standard 2.0 to the silver one?

Sensible option would be the white one, the silver one is worth more as a 1.2 but it would finish the car off if it had a big mofo engine in it.

I'd do the white one and maybe fit a K&N to the silver one to make up the performance.

If you put the 2.0 in the silver one you will forever being worrying about driving fast and fear damaging it, put it in the white one.

do you want to go through life owning corsa's ? and have 2 cars costing you loads to tax,mot fuel and service ?

imo i would make 1 out of all of them as you can only drive 1 at a time

sell all the spares and just have 1 to worry about

But if you ask anyone who knows me; knows i never drive the car
The reason being worrying about the bodywork, which is the main reason for the twin engine being 100% standard.
The V6 has not been driven since PVS last year, an will only be driven to PVS this year.......
