After having regrets of selling my mid engined Nova project I want to build something insane again and I'm thinking of building a 4x4 Corsa VXR engined Corsa B, if I do I'll sell the 1.8 and I'm interested in what it could be worth?

I started with a rot free UBER BASIC 1.2 Merit shell, it weighs less than 900kg with me sat in it according to my local weigh bridge

Engine
X18XE1 Small Block 1.8 Engine
Induction Kit
EGR blanked
Stainless manifold
Straight through exahust system with 3" tailpipe
F13CR gearbox

Exterior
Resprayed (Flame Red)
White Cesaros on 195/50/15 Toyo Proxes
Bilstein -35 springs and matching shocks
GSI Front bumper (grille is now fitted and I do have the fog lights)
Colour coded arches
Post 97 rear bumper

Interior
Stripped Rear
Corbeau Forza Seats
Sabelt 3 Points
Club Black door cards (to match seats)

Chassis
Front upper and lower strut braces
Rear strut brace
Front 20mm ARB
Polybushed

Brakes
288mm Discs
V6 Calipers
Braided Hoses

Thats all I can think of at the mo

I was following a project on migweb, a guy has used the cav/cally running gear on a B, he's tubbed out the rear and made a space frame for the rear subframe and widened and braced the front of the tunnel to allow for the TX box..

I think I'd copy what he's done with the tunnel but I'd like to build my own rear arms using the standard rear beam pivot points and spring cups (plus two extra inner pivots) and make a full trailing arm setup. Would be easier to four link a chevette rear axel but the ratios wont be right

i'd pay £2k for that happily.
now this isnt something which i'd do or condone, but may appeal to some people out there... what engine was it originally and what is it logged with the dvla as?if it was originally a 1.0 it will be more appealing to a chav who can insure it as such

Yeah I've seen that white MK3 with the cally floor pan, that was pretty damn impressive work!

The way I see it 250-300bhp through four wheels in a shell that weighs next to fuck all should be pretty interestnig.

Well I've got the space, skill and money but the problem is I get bored very quickly! Which was the demise of the Nova! I had build a rolling shell but I got sick of doing all the niggly bits!
