I say sell it, no one will ever pay 10k for a Corsa no matter how good it is cos at the end of the day Corsas dont keep their value very well as you say you got it new fron Vauxhall 4 years ago for 11k and look how much Corsa B prices have declined since then.
If you wanna sell it cos you want a change of car then sell it, but if you're happy with the v6 then keep it

an 8k is nothing, using the davyboy logic it should be worth at least 30k

mmm, that a tough one, its so one off and none like it, but then again you will never get offered 8k again for it i doubt, like it never get 6 or so for mine!
8k, nice C20LET phase 3.5, four wheel drive project could be built there and be extremely fast!

sell it and get shut
i know ur loosing alot but you might not get the offer again , or i know it sounds bad but you might crash it or gets stolen ect and you would not get nothing like that back .
and i reckon now you could make another one up for 8k if u do the labour easy
but its your car - your decision . its easy for everyone to say keep it blah blah blah but they dont have 25k stuck in it

If you don't need the money then what possible reason do you have for selling? If I was unsure about selling it then I wouldnt do it. You have to be 100% certain before you can make a decision.

I'd sell it, its very rare you'll get back what you've spent on it, 8k for a Corsa is a fair bit of cash, ask a bit more like the others have said, i think 10k is a bit much in my opinion but if he said ok then i'd get rid, but 8k is a fair price i believe, i'll be wrong in someone else's eyes though!
Say you've spent 8k on it, keep it for another 2-3years and you might get 5k for it, maybe a bit more or less i duno?
Shame he didn't offer you 8k this time next year! That way you'd have had a yrs good showing from it........
I think i'd get rid though, start another corsa!

Don't do it, unless you are again planning to buy a corsa and with the same kit and some other mods

you can sell it on one condition - myself and wayne get a ride in it before you do
seriously though £8k is an awful lot of cash, and some fairly serious thinking has got to be done on your part as to whether you could part with the car, after the amount of effort and money that has already gone into it!!
For £8000 though, you could buy a few project's C20LET with a stupid amount of boost etc, and then maybe something totally different to a corsa like a kit car, rally car, sprint or specific drag car racing car....... there's a lot of decisions to make..... though if you did sell would you not miss working on it??
at the end of the day its upto you, i voted not to sell it above - but thats because i don't want to see it wrapped around a lampost in a few weeks time.....
no matter what any1 says here, at the end of the day its upto you

keep it and enjoy for a while...
no point just getting it right then selling it on before you've enjoyed it for a bit and showed it off
