Didn't take no pics today, had to go to the shop and when I got back it was dark Interior is all stripped just need to rip the carpet out now.
Yea Rich insurance is bad over here , I got a quote before deciding to this though and it was £2200, by the time its ready for the road I'll have the R's off and a years no claims (touch wood ) so hopefully it'll come down a bit.

That's not as bad as I was expecting tbh, I've heard horror stories of insurance in N.I before that's why I mentioned it 
Look forward to seeing progress 
Guess this means the Polo idea is out the window again now?!

Yea the Polo urge is gone , I was just going through a phase of wanting to sell up , I was supposed to be going over to Leeds in February to get a classic Mini, decide to stick with the Corsa though as it was to cheap to say no too

Does it have central locking/electric windows? If no to both of those, It wont.

To get the electric mirrors/windows/central locking, Presuming the red one has that. Your just need to unplug the loom that is running under the seats, Your have to put in a lot of of the wires too though.
Most of it is simple (Did it on my 12v), just finding wires and adding them in etc.
