No details of the one being talked about...
You need Manta GTE gearbox, driveshaft and rear axle and a 2.0 engine, well whatever engine you like really... Take out of Manta and attatch to Corsa. Easier said than done. The man problem is the transmission tunnel and the fact the gearbox needs to sit inboard quite a bit. You either need to cut a bitg hole through the middle of the car and fabricate your own transmission tunnle or you need to somehow weld in the Manta transmission tunnle. Also you will need to move the pedals backwards because the gearbox gets in the way of the clutch pedal... Mounting the engine needs custom mounts and probably some sort of custom subframe welding in. Attatching the rear axle could be done by part-spaceframing the rear end or welding in part of the Manta floorpan, theoretically... Not sure what else to say really
