well finally got round to sorting my corsa sport out. took the engine out at weekend to fix some damage to the engine bay, which i will be doing this week and while its out im going to rebuild the engine as it was burning oil.
found the problem when i was striping it down, the oil breather pipes were blocked with what looks like mayo and its all in the block will get on that next week. will put pics on tomorrow and hopefully the car will be back on the road at the end of the month

fixed the chassis it wasnt to bad, there was a little split in it so welded it up and managed to get engine back in aswell . just got to get suspension, driveshafts, radiator and a few wires back on then hopefully it will be running. not going to put it on the road just yet though going to smooth and paint bumpers first and colour code everything.
