I'm in two minds at the moment. I know i will not get my money back, but modding a car is not about that in my eyes. I spent the money on my car because from day 1 i wanted a corsa just the way i've built mine. Keep an eye on this thread or my project at the end of the month to see what happens mate.
i know what you mean ive had alot of cars that ive spent loads on and had to let them go and you dont think about the money you lost only the great times you had making it your dream car lol. mate ive followed your buikd thread from the beginning mateand your car is mint. dont rush it save and fix it mate i know its more money but your car is worth it. im suprised it ant in tv yet dont give up.

Ah right so not just happened all of a sudden then.My bad.
Is the car still driveable??Are you still using it??
Could u not pick up a cheap XE block then rebuild that with new pistons etc and get it ready just to swap everything over when its done.That way your getting the use of the car and your only really going to be paying out that little extra for the XE bottom end.

No, i was using the car untill it was smoking when i put my foot down, this was on sunday. Car still runs, but you can hear it sounds different.
The bottom end in there now was an xe built up to a let engine mate. Something will get sorted im sure.
