*Edit* Had planned to get a Corsa. Ended up with a Nova, instead. Never mind .
After getting shot of the Corsa, i'd bought for a tenner a while back.
Wanted to build a project car again (after Astra CDX I had), this time it wouldn't be a my everyday car. Melv's Corsa and Jack's old Corsa project had been giving me ideas too lmao.
So I bought a 20XE off a friend.
It's needs a good amount of work as the woodruff key snapped and mashed half the vavles:doh:. But with block, loom, ECU and a F20 it only stung me £60. So i'll spend a bit of time rebuilding the XE. Even managed to get a Corsa/Nova XE exhaust manifold too.
Then started looking for a shell for this lot. Thought I’d stuck lucky again with a chance of a black Corsa Sport. Even better was the 1.6 was shot too. Price of it too was VERY keen at £150 with some goodies attached to it. Had to pay it up though as my other car needed tyres at the time. No front seats either, gutted! Some really nice Cobra buckets too :doh:.
Then a surprise when the guy I bought the car from told me what it had nailed on to the 1.6.....
Which changed my plans. As I now quite fancy a X16XE now and the Sport shell is not the greatest either :doh:.
So i'm going to look out for another Corsa and break the Sport. That said i'm not in rush either. Which means it'll be slow progress for the time being.
