Yep I know its a strange one but I recently bought a corsa off ebay had cage and xe lump already in, I was changing the gearbox mount and noticed where the front wishbones are, the fronts of the 2 main beams are more or less all rust.
So would like to know easiest and best way to take out cage?
Or if there's anything I can actually do to fix this shell, that's the only problem with it

I take it the cage is welded in?
If its welded in you will either have to cut the legs around the base or just cut around the base and take part of the chassis with it. If its due to a size issue that you cant get it out then just cut the roof off if the cars going for scrap!

Yeah it is welded in.
I haven't gone that as far as trying to cut it yet but just wanted to find best way to get it out but then its gotta go back in another corsa shell.

cut the floor then instead of the cage then you trim it once its out. Only problem might be getting it out of the car if its all welded together. Then you will just have to move it around to get it out
