Ok guys, well this used to be my daily hack car but got bored of it and decided to buy an astra as a daily, so now i've come to the conclusion to put the corsa on track.
So a few of the most recent pictures i have of her before she was taken off road
Then she went and got locked up in my unit and i went and bought this little bad boy
Progress thread here http://vaux-web.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=980
If your interested in reading the build up of the corsa before track use take a look here http://vaux-web.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=712
So now we get to where she is now,
First off i apologise for the quality of the first few pics, it was dark when i got to the unit but i wanted to get some last pics of what it looks like (alloys are off the astra as i was testing the corsa alloys on the astra but there back on now
Cracked on with the crash diet straight away, Rear seats out, boot plastics, spare wheel, rear seatbelts, boot carpet, rear door cards, c-pillar trims, parcel shelf
And the pile of stuff removed all building up
And one last one of her tucked up in bed for the night before i shut the doors 
C+C Welcome as always  8-)

Not sure if you got my Facebook reply, got seats here we can bang in, older Sport style.
Needs bringing to the farm a few days before ideally, could do a bit on it there if you like if there's anything left to do in addition to the seats.

No i didnt get your reply mate, yeah still waiting for a reply from ste w regarding fuel costs, see if he can do it cheaper than mike, if not need to arrange with mike to get it up there, how much you want for the seats?
Once the sound deadenings out theres not really much more i need to do before donnington, not got the money for anything else yet, unless you can think of anything more i can do for free?

Mike can't do it for £30, he needs to drive 58 miles four times, that's in addition to going and getting the trailer.
Can you get it to Ste's work? Could even bring the trailer there, you can go get the car and hitch it back on Ste's car when he leaves in the morning. That's the best way, far better than driving a van just for that one job.
And jobs for free, yeah grinder doesn't ever cost much

He did message me on fb about he worked it out wrong and said it would be £60? that right?
would have to see wether i can get someone to tow it up there, can't be driven as it's got no tax or insurance
What time would ste be dropping trailer off with me and what time would he need it back? and what day?

He works nights so at Wharton for about 8 I think.
Basically you meet him there with a tow car one night and return the following night with the car on the trailer, and he takes it home in the morning.
Or meet him at 6am when he leaves, probably less preferably
PM him - http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/u2u.php?action=send&username=Ste%20W
