same basis as the nova but you would need new conversion mounts and shafts/hubs etc. wouldnt bother myself. sell the nova and start again and you will end up with a decent wad of cash in ya pocket and a decent conversion.

if the nova's in good nick hen remove the engine and any fancy bits and sell the shell on with the xe mounts etc and use the money to buy a new fitting kit and drop the engine in the corsa shell

the diff spacer on the rear mount is the same as the corsa conversion one. i have the other conversion mount you will need(drivers side engine one) £20 posted. set of gsi shafts will cost you about £25 then its just wiring which is very simple. water pipes arent much different either, header tank is in a different place (bulkhead rather than inner wing) but re-routing this is very simple. and gaz, nova and corsa hubs are the same so if its motorsport shafts all he will need to change are the bare shafts, cvs and hubs can be re-used
