really hard to say a price, if your willing to do the work yourself it shudnt be to bad. best way to get a price for the parts would be to go to a scrappy tell them what you need and they shud be able to give you a rough price. dont bother with new parts they will cost a bomb.
OFFICAL DVLA DATA:
1414 - corsa gsi's on the road in 2008.
735 - corsa gsi's currently on the road and 436 SORN
Basicly you would have to be a right tw*t to break one for parts :rant:

Thanks to everyone for an awsome weekend at pvs!

the rear axle wouldnt be to hard, its only disconnect your brake pipes, then take your rear strut bolts out of the beam then just the bolt that goes through the axle pivots. but then you'l have to re-bleed your brakes when you put your new axle on tho, but the engine isnt tooo bad either really, if your feeling up to it.
