Dont know whether to put it up for sale or not and get something other than a Corsa. I've had them of all engine types for the past 3 or 4 years 
I feel like i've done everything I want to do to the car, it won best car on the MIG stand at VBOA, so my aim has been fulfilled type of thing!!!

Chris, its a cracking car (as it looks a lot like mine but not quite as good  LOL )
Its all down to how you feel with it, if you could live wothout it and not miss it, sell it!
If you could move it on to the next step and still be interested, keep it!

if you have a cossie, then a corsa is just a toy that you will loose money on.
As for the majority on here its our main car so we spend all the cash on our cars!!

Depending how much money/time you want to chuck at it... Ive still yet to see a 4x4 road legal corsa  . Will be stupidly expensive, more so in terms of time than cost, but would break new ground, and should potentially start setting new records down the strip.

The Corsa is Charlotte's, she has spent so much money on it. No corners have been cut.
There is a lever arch file full of receipts, the likes of the bodykit, fogs, splitter rear lights are all brand new from Vauxhall. It has a Coscast head fully rebuilt with ARP studs etc, all gaskets and seals are brand new, new cam pulleys, crank pulley on and on.
But like I said, everything that she wanted to do has been done now and its won car of the show, mission complete 
Havent got the time to spend doing 4x4 etc, would love to but it would just end up sitting up for ages which would be a waste
