ad, if the front panel is okay, you need to get it all sorted and poss take this to PVS if the shell aint done

i reckon we can get the head rebuilt no worries...Thats the only problem wit the engine i reckon. Apart from sensors.

I'm sure we can get her all sorted. Unless it has been badly damaged at the front, in which case its not safe and needs to be binned, and i can have the MFD :D

that remains to be seen. Depends what horrors lie behind the front bumper. We have suspicions that it has been stuffed at the front, so if that is the case, it will be getting binned.

However, should it be ok...yes, it is another corsa to spend money on! :)

na...this will be the run around. means he can sell the audo outright then. just get that gone, as its more hassle than its worth. Then have this as the daily driver, and get the chevette work underway :)
