anyway the plans are to finish fitting the bodykit, fit some coilovers, roll cage, bucket seats stripped interior and one day an escort rs turbo engine (sorry for guy at heart)

since i got the car on saturday i have finnished all the sanding and filling on the drivers side and by next week end i plan to have the passenger side sorted and all painted in about 3 weeks

i picked up a 1.6 8v astra engine for 20 quid the other day but im haveing trouble finding a gearbox local to me in plymouth any susgestions?

i also still need to find some wheels that fit

well anyway let me know what u think

urmm lol yea keep us updated, bodykits aernt really 'in' at the moment thats probably why it was cheap, and as for the gearbox you'd want a f15 or something from a 1.4 16v corsa i'd guess, but yea nice project you got going on there good luck. why dont you stick a C20LET in it instead as people have already made engine mounts and stuff to fit corsa's for those engines anyway.
