Hmmm, even if I did put it back together it's still £220 to repair it :( but the garage down the road would be taking it off, skimming the head, cleaning out etc but it's already half done so they can't charge more for labour :lol:

Rather get it done at garage imo since I'll have a guarantee with it if anything goes wrong

Had an estimate of £500 to have the engine completely rebuilt, so I'll be going to PVS in a hire car :(

but will still be saving for the corsa to be repaired and back on the road in the mean time!

Don't have a garage to do it or a driveway since my dads old project is sitting on it :(

but think I'm gonna get the wheels off to give them a refurb in white instead of satin black maybe..

Can get an engine for £100 off someone that's done 53k but need someone to fit it, anybody know someone?! Nearby to me! as I want it being done asap before PVS if it's possible otherwise a hire car is definitely what will be done on the way down..
