Coz of a load of balls insurance rubbish thing (and me being stubborn too) my corsa is out of commision for a while, i've compiled a list of things to do whilst its hibernating.
Rear disc conversion
V6 brakes up front
New lower springs (or coilovers)
Smooth boot
Colour code all black bits
Replace all suspension bushes roll bars etc
Fit newly painted rims with some quality tyres for a change 
Drop the 20xe lump in
Side exit exhaust
New interior
New windscreen
All comments/suggestions on the above welcome, i'll need a hand sourcing the bits, this is where you guys come in 
And have i missed anything obvious/easy to do whilst i'm not running it ?
Cheers dudes

2.0l if insurance is not a prob.
coilovers
uprated front brakes and back brake disc conversion...
but instead of 2.0l why not try a 1.6 turbo'd

the car would spent more time off the road than on it plus the looking at it ecconomically the 2.0 would be a better choice..

heavly modifyed engines are nutoriously bad for reliability especially ones with turbo's fitted to them... granted if you new what your were doing you could probably get it to work.... but really for how long? yer going to pop so many parts trying to get the right config that its just not worth the hardship imo.
