alright... looking for peoples opinions and advice really.

Think i'm going to re-shell my corsa into another one and sell of any bits i dont need. Which means the XE out mine will be going in another.

But... what Corsa do i buy?

Was thinking about a Sport, good base got all the right bits, good interior and electrics etc.
Or do i get a SXi, same interior, i've already got electrics in mine.
Main diff is the PAS on a Sport and EPS on a SXi.

EPS can be wired in no bother or PAS on a pump.

what to do.... any thoughts?

Isn't the wiring an absolout pain in the arse on an SXi? I'd go for a Sport again personally for the simplicity!

Get an SXi then

There must be one somewhere with a shagged engine - the 1.2 16v eats sensors

Do Sxi's have electric windows

Either way it would have to be a Sxi or Sport IMO

Mine does

I did put them myself though as all the wires are there

Go for whatever is cheapest. Would imagine an SXi would cost less than a Sport of the same year with it being a smaller engine.

I was advised by Lee Mitchell to get an Corsa LS 1.4 8v, due to mounts and all sorts of other fuckery. My Corsa cost me £400 in the end.

sxi IMO. EPS is better than belt driven IMO.

Plus sport will have aircon, which is another thing to remove.
