sell or scrap

Post by corsalee351 »

hello folks i joined this forum because i am currently building a corsa eurorod racecar but i know nothing
about corsas so hopefully with your help and knowledge my build will be easier . I have removed the engine and gearbox
both good (but not for me) but is there a demand for these or should i just scrap them the engine is just a standard 1.2 8v
Also does anyone know of any companys that build rollcages in the east london area.

if the engine and gearbox are in good working order dont scrap them,stick em on ebay or in local paper etc,youl probably get a couple of hundred quid in your pocket then.

dont know about the rollcage tho coz i live in rotherham lol.
I'd rather push a Corsa,than drive anything else. : )
