now the head gaskets gone, its 1.4 8v and apparently its quite common, just weighing up my options;
fixed it, £250 and have its back soon.
change engine (to something bigger) £450? for a decent one, either fit it myself with some help, or have it done properly, meaning more money!
or
scrap/break, and get a new car (corsa obviously:thumbs

What do you guys think?

as im sure you guys know, once you've done work/money on your car it makes you not want to get rid of it lol

x16xe with manifold and inlet mate, Will be better than the 1.4 spi 8v you have. Or just get an 8v sri engine.

If that fails, try insurance quotes on an arden blue sport and if it agrees with you, get one and transfer all your bits onto that.

As u was telling me it's needs tidying up. Personally I'd cut my looses and get rid. Get a late as possible Arden blue 1.6 sport.
