got the car, stripped it down now. just few interior parts to come off.
the slam panel ill be replaced but rest of car is fine with just patches of surface rust. nothing much at all
i dont have an engine will soon decide what engine will be going in
i was then taking my attention to some surface rust where th bottom of the spoiler is with the boot. only i slipped and fell into the glass. dont ask lol.............
yes the whole fucking glass shattered everywhere. ahwell rear window was being replaced anyways.
also a quick interior pic before i remove it all
open to offers on the gear gaitor oh and also had a red fashing led gearknob
future plans are:
bare shell respray
my spax coilovers on
v6 brakes on front
discs on back
ronal turbos
the interior from my grey sport.
still undecided on engine though

Are you being serios about a corsa vxr engine ?
You should look into it a bit more tbh, you pretty much need to cut off the front of a corsa-d and weld it to your B
might be better £ wise to do a c20let

Agree with Stavs, the actual cost of putting it in and then getting it too run would be more hassle and money than its worth.
