Bought a corsa, well, haven't yet but away to get it! Sri, black needs a bonnet, and two wings, £150?

Going to completely strip it, get the whole shell painted... BUT the part circled on the pic below (hope C20LET doesnt mind, not had a chance to take pics of it) has major rust on it. How easy is it to fix, or even replace with a new part? And whats the best way?

Be on here for lots of advice next few weeks

Thats a structural part, holds the chassis legs together and also the tie bars and anti-roll bar if you have one bolt to it. I personally would clean it up before I replaced it.

Depending what engine you're ending up with you might also want some of these as well - http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/viewthread.php?tid=303908
