Worth is for the cage, surely?

Shell looks as rotten as a shonky Vw van though.

Just boot lid really. Cage would cost about 1k plus fitting.

Tbh, it really doesn't interest me anymore and looking back I enjoyed building it more.

Easily worth £500 for the cage so long as it's done correctly and has the paperwork with it. Shame not many corsa owners will pay that for it

one i scrapped was welded in too but it had them stupid box things in the floor, a good few inches in from the sill and the front bar behind the dash was wonkey... didnt want it anything like that so chucked it out the front for the scrap man (or anyone) to take...

really could feel the difference with the cage in mine. sat on the rollers doing the mapping it felt so much better and less flexible.

its definitely worth the 500 the guy is asking for it.
