I'm sure you will be pleased with the more modern interior, and it'll also be alot more pokey.

The world threw Beardys eyes :-
your corsa 1.4 8v your going to trade it in or sell for around £1500
To Buy
Corsa C 1.4 16v at around £7k
making a Differance of £5.5k
i would........
2lt 16v £1500
4 pots £500
2 buckets £400
full cage £400
Total £2800
£5500 - £2800 = £2700 toward insurace
and a car which is alot more fun 
and it 6 months time think god this is slow

Good if you're just after speed, but when you come to sell it, its not going to be worth 20% of the 1.4 Sri

"corsa" and "hold there money" in the same sentance 
at the end of the day he owns the corsa B already so why not get a new smaller loan (alot less then he would have to get on the corsa C) and build the B so hes happy with it again an its alot more fun?
where he can get a new car which again in 6-12 months time he will not be happy with it, and still have a massive loan to pay

That modified B is going to be worth 50 quid more after you've done all that to it. The C will depreciate but as a factor of the 7 grand investment, not lashing the money at mods. Modding doesn't make financial sense - fact!!

I think you have a marketing gem there:
"Roll up, roll up. Leave your shit world behind. Come and join Beardy's world!"
