Would need Cav/Calibra 4x4 running gear cut down and fabricated to fit the Corsa shell, LET engine and box, Fabricated transmission tunnel and suspension mounts etc etc
Would cost thousands!!! Pointless when you could buy an Evo/Subaru/Skyline that will do a better job than it in standard form!

unless you have a good workshop and mig.tig welding skills i wouldnt bother, to pay someone to do this such as MJS in ipswich will cost you 5k+ id say, and be cheaper as people say to buy a scooby or cav turbo!!
If fitting the xe/let then just get a good diff such as quaiffe or be special and buy a ZF unit like im saving for.
Then you will be able to put the power down and have fun for half the price

Dont get me wrong, if you are gonna do it yourself and tinker in your garage then it would be a good fun project as you say. good alternative to a kit car I guess!!?
Definitely not worth putting thousand of pounds into tho!!!

If I had my time again theres no way I would have ploughed thousands into that 2 litre Corsa of mine! Without wasting my money on that, the P1 I have now would be a nice GT2 Porsche!!!!
