looks dodgy to me... very cheap
you can be sure its gona need a few hundred to get it thru an mot in a few weeks and also when buying an engine converted car you need to know the history behind both the engine and fitting.... might be a really old engine or been fitted by a monkey
also the guy said hes only done 50 miles in it since he got it and you gotta ask yourself why.... why has he bought it and is selling it after one journey and making it sound like its 'his corsa' , sounds like he drove it home and realized it was fooked to me
if u give it a good check over and be prepared for a few hundred quid for the mot tho then it dont look to bad, think it as a £900 car not a £500 and its not 2 bad

yea looks alright that does, but remember if you do buy it PUT A NEW CAMBELT ON IT!! plus what i do is do that txt check and see if theirs any history with it, for a couple of 3quid or so txt the reg to 83600 it dont half make things alot smoother least you know it aint stole or nothin.
