From my experience the most reliable conversions are where you take the motor out the doner car, drop it in the corsa.
They are the ones that never break and go forever lol

flames out of the bodies is often either tb balance, tps position or a fuelling problem.

no money left to fix it. ive got a few options really
1 - get a garage to keep it in and break it for parts
2 - get a garage to keep it in untill i can afford to fix it
3 - get a loan to get it fixed (really dont want to do)

How much would you seriously need though to finish the car? How long would it take you to accumulate those funds?
1 is out of the question!!

csweatherspoon, we (JAMsport) mapped the car. However the map actually cant change, from running well on one day to all of a sudden running crap isnt a mapping problem, the data wont change.
james, i assume you have tried crank sensor?

good luck. hope you get it fixed. i know the feeling my crankshaft cracked and couldnt find out what was wrong with it in 3 months splutering at low revs and no power either. dont give up this car is the only reason i bought mine in white! and slowly but surely looks almost like yours. big influence. fingers crossed for you.
