aye, i remember reading an article about this and from memory it was a figure of around 20k (not 100% sure on this btw)....which isnt cheap 
VT - aye, i have a basic understanding of how it would go together (from reasearch etc), but its not as easy as you seem to be saying. Its not a weekend job, like popping a 2lt into a corsa, it would take a good month or more solid working on it to get it finished. And add the cost for the whole project, its pretty much a pointless to do to a corsa, hence why no one has done it (although i remember posting a thread ages ago and someone said there friend was building one, but ive yet to hear anything on that though).
However, wasnt courtenay going to build a kit that you could get? 
i think you've missunderstood my post, i said it wasn't a job you can just chuck together, you've jsut made out like i said it was easy.

sorry boss, i just quickly read it
aye, it isnt something you can just bodge together, its far fooking from it
eitherway, its gonna be expensive, and like i said, i dont think it would be worth it
