I split mine after losing interest completely, that kinda made the decision for me.

I got fed up with the harsh ride and generally not going anywhere fast. I loved my Corsa and it turned alot of heads but was time for me to move on to better things. If I could justify 2 cars i'd buy it back in a shot though.

i cant get rid of my corsa spent to much to justify selling for 2k or whatever, i brought my gsi astra purley for something bigger, but i still love my corsa for the rawness/stiffness/loudness etc

Mine won't be selling, I'm getting it to a stage where I can say its finished then I'l buy a second car.
Something not to touch keep totally standard, and still have the corsa for fun and show.
Don't sell up, garage it and save for something else even if its just a run about.
I just feel I'd always regret selling it, worth alot more to me than its true value.

Don't put anymore money into in then, just save for a second car, keep the corsa be worth it in the end or let someone else have all your hard work for a very very low price.
Thats my take on the matter, I'd rather keep it than let it go to someone else cheap plus I'd hate to see someone else driving MY car, always be known as your car.

Put it back to near enough standard then, you would get less attention from people and you can give them a shock when they try to race you. It will keep you busy as wel

fuck it buy a new house with 2 garages

yes but yours was a scrapper
i was really shocked when i saw you was splitting it mate, but you have moved on
it all depends on weather you can fund another car as i am sure alot of people would of kept there corsas as toys and got a second car.......

I'm not selling mine. To get the money back that has gone into it I would have to sell it for like £8k
