yeah but your doing a conversion, so you will probably upgrade the Majority of the parts for better ones. How old is it? any rust on the bodywork?

Is it close and can you move it to your residence? if it has no rust then its all good. Just be carefull because just because it hasnt been driven far it still may suffer from rust.

its a tough decision:
+ local
+ low mileage
- dead engine(hassel of removal etc)
- its £250
i think thats a fair summary of it.

Dont just buy it because its cheap.
If your not going to make good use of it let someone else buy it.

Well someone who is gonna actually either fix it or make a project of it.
It'd be a shame if you bought it & then just let it rot whilst you finished your Corsa
