Think this is a long shot tbh... BUT.
My brother is just buying a new car, and will be giving me his 1.2 16v SXi Corsa B.
Its a 99 'T' Plate, but needs work - A fair bit of.
Basically, I'm looking at Tracking it - This will be running alongside an apprenticeship, meaning i'll be earning just about enough to live, leaving me no money for parts etc for the project.
Now i think the chances of this are slim - But basically, I'm looking for any freebies or seriously cheap parts - I'll be able to cover postage, as any spare money will be going into this, however i'm on limited funds.
It needs absolutely everything tbh, I'm looking into Redtop Later on, as my mate has a scrapper cavvy about too - But i need most bits.
It needs a Bootlid in Red (With or without spoiler but preferably with holes for one and window)..
Drivers Wing in Red
Std Rear lights
Both Facelift (Post 97) bumpers in Red
Slam Panel (Red or Black)
Cross Member panel (Behind bumper)
Smaller Steering wheel to remove airbag and the massive cavalier Wheel it has!
Bucket Seats
Harnesses
Redtop Conversion parts (Absolutely anything)
Speedo (Approx 90k on them?)
Strut Braces
Rear Brakes / Disc axle would be preferred though!
Bigger front brakes
Lowering springs / Stiffer shocks
I need anything you have tbh!
If anyone would be generous enough to donate anything, it'd be seriously, seriously appreciated!
Not sure if i'll get slated for this, which i probably will... but its worth a go 
The car hopefully will be stripped, and so i don't need many parts, but the car basically needs everything else - Its been neglected to say the least.
If there's any advice or recommendations to this conversion, it'd also be much appreciated!
The plan is also to make guides for everything as i go, I'll take the camera with me and so on - and use my spare time to make guides etc...
It'd also be nice to get it running in order to do some events to raise money for the Air ambulance fund, after a near tragic accident my brother had 18 months ago - They saved his life
Thankyou in advance for anyone who replies!
David

The bootlid is gay - Only problem is postage / Collection mate...
Cheers for quick reply!

Awesome, I'll definately keep that link - As i research what i'm gonna need to do the conversion, i'll need some bits.
Is it harder on the 1.2 16v as opposed to say a 1.4 16v sport model?
Thats what I've heard tbh..
Just fancy a redtop - Never gonna afford to do it but i can try! lol

Yeah, just saving a tenner here a tenner there seems silly...
Especially if someones willing to part with things cheaply or just to get rid..
The more i have from one person the cheaper the postage too, I can arrange courier to collect items so it works out relatively cheaply the more stuff there is...
Its tricky, I kinda want something running alongside the apprenticeship, and so i will start strippage etc and go from there... its gonna take me years! lol

the conversion is the same mate except the wiring is in a different place as its on the inlet manifold so you will need to run the wires elsewhere

I can get them for less than that new mate tbh - I'm looking for more cheaper stuff to get me going with work on it to keep me busy really.
Cheers though
