Hey everyone, i used to own a very nice 'L' reg corsa B which i loved, but foolishly sold it in november to buy my astra coupe, now realising that i deeply miss my fun old corsa, im going to build another one but have decided its got to be a 2.0 ltr this time!
I am looking for any pics/information that i will need to carry this out, i NEED to know everything,every single detail, any help much appreciated, thanks alot Tim

Are you sitting comfortably 
Depends on shell, doner engine, budget. First things first is to find yourself two complete cars and go from there.

check classifieds for a 2ltr 16v corsa, there are a few around these days and also save you in the long run!
alternatively if youre good with spanners do it yourself and read through the posts on here use the search function for this.
Or alternatively exchnage £1500 with lee mitchell and he will sort everything out for you

Yes wellive got an astra GTE that im getting for £100, did have an s plate 1.2 sxi lined up for £300, but this has been sold, this is what has got the ball rolling. I want to do it myself because half the fun of having a modified car is doing it yourself, i work for vauxhall so am a bit handy with the spanners, just need to know any info i need, eg. wiring, mounts how to use the GTE shafts and hubs etc. thanks

You'll find it all on here, just no in one thread. Search button is your friend

If you're doing the work yourself then do each step at a time and when you run into problems, ask on here.
Myke did it this way and I think it was a lot easier than trying to get all the information in one go beforehand.
