Iv curently got a 1999 corsa with 12 months m.o.t, havent got it on the road yet, as i just cant be arsed with it lol. My mates got a escort rs turbo cabroliet, and he fancys a swap. Is it worth it?? I know he spent £3,000 ish on a re build a few months ago. But the m.o.t runs out in march and im not sure it will pass. So what do you guys think?? Im thinking swap, and if it fails on the m.o.t badly, stick the engine in a fiesta  Heres a couple of pics .....
Mine ....
His .....

I wouldnt myself, wouldnt drive a cab unless it was a nice car in the first place. Me mate drives round in an E36 1.8 BMW convert like its a Bentley or suttin, does me head in he thinks its boss Roof down in the freezing cold an all that
To sum it up, no id keep the Corsa.

Surely there is something wrong with it other than no MOT if he wants to swap it for a Corsa?

naa the rebuild was all used with forge pistons, all that malarkey. Properly done. He has to drive 20 odd miles a day to work and back and he just wants something cheaper to run. Im thinking of swaping, then when the m.o.t comes up in april if i fails had stick the engine in a fiesta

that corsa isn't anything all that special is it?
you could always make money on the rst and get another corsa.
