Best thing to do is buy a donner car as you can hear the engine running plus you will have all the parts you need  then just sell the rest off the car on

I'm playing with the idea of selling my corsa but obviously it would be cheaper to do a conversion than buy a 182 which i have been looking at, i have the engine, wiring etc if i was to get hold of all the bits i need how much do u think it would cost to get someone to fit it?

I'd rather a 182 over a converted corsa. Newer, better car to start with.

I test drove a 182 on sunday it was awesome, i had an insurance quote aswell £333.00 fully comp - sweet.
It's just getting the funds together to buy it and at the mo interest rates are high, plus i have a mortgage to think of so just chucking a few ideas around, my corsa just isn't quick enough looks tidy but dosn't have the power lol

If the question was "shall I convert my corsa" then yes it would be a silly thing to say but he said he was tied between converting the corsa and buying a 182.
If I was in that position I would rather have the 182
