This is only part one of the project, Stripping this Green Corsa Sport.
Its a late night ebay win, I only want the engine, gearbox and other running gear.
I've bought a silver shell to fit the engine into etc (Shell turns up tomorrow  ) So yep, I'll be part of the mass silver corsa crew 
Preety aint it... lmao
The bit I want...
Got on with stripping, Not much to start with, Needs to be keept as a car really atm.
The reason it wont be going back on the road, Going to be weighed in.
Right, Now you've seen the start, Your have to wait  , Silver shell is delivered tomorrow, Plans are to drop this engine into that and then... Turbo. A simple, DIY, home build low boost (but still good power), Cheap but proves it can be done and acts as the tester for my current engine build.
Watch this space.

Pah!
4hours to remove the engine from having it running, including doing a compression test, And dodging the rain lol
A bit after I started this morning..
Later...
Leaving, I'm going to use the pas rack though.
Beast
Powarrrr plant. Need to lose the compressor and get a different engine mount, No biggy 
Then the rain really kicked in, So inside to do some stripping.
Then a man with a trailer rocked up, Delivering me this.
Black bonnet will hopefully be changed but not worried about that atm.
Interior needs some work
Now where the real work will be:
Going to continue stripping the green one tomorrow, Hopefully get a few hours per day on it to get it gone by the weekend. Then I can crack on with the silver one, First job is cleaning it and welding up holes etc.
Comments please

Dont think your in the state to comment just now. You have an atlantis blue which you cant even get a colour match for and a green one thats had the paint rollered on and the silver one seems the best out of the lot. Point settled
