After looking around for some time for a cheap and clean-ish non-sunroof corsa. I have come back with this.
Pics from Ebay..
Nothing majorly wrong with it, but the heater blowers do not work.
The heater will be fixed when the dash comes out.
Pics from when got it to place of work..
Started to have a little mod with it, as you can see from top pics i put wind deflectors on.
Pulled out the broken airbox and headlights plus grill.
Put Depo's in with home bodged grill.
Gloss black scuttle and roof rails (didn't get a back of them but can see in others)
Astra G Side reps.
Short qear stick with the tray type centre console. Need a new one though as its stained.
Thats it for now more will progress as i get time to switch bits over.

Not sure exactly whats happening with the bay just yet, or when the 1.8 will be fitted for that matter.
Wants to get the majority of the car sorted before i pull engines.

It still requires to be lifted, but you have to feel for the lift part through the gaitor. Not the top of the gear stick. Bit weird at first but works.

Did a little bit today.
Stripped the back out and trial fitted cage (didn't get a picture) but it fits.
Whilst all out fitted one of my bucket seats into the car.
Will fit other tomorrow, need to get myself two eye bolts. Seem to have lost them.
Will also be sanding the cage down sometime this week and painting.

First task today was to get all the looms back in from the donor car.
Airbag dash to go back in.
Looms all in and dash going back, without the passenger airbag though.
It was then ready for fuel tanks and rear axle, but is crawled under the car to find 3 ants nest's.
So plans stopped and killed the bugers.

Cage didn't fit right in the sun roof model. Fits snug in this though.
