someones beat beardy to it by the looks of it Although reading that, it has PAS i thought there wasnt enough room to have that fitted?
Car looks good, apart from the interior and the carbon bonnet but with abit of TLC and colour coding and strip the interior and change the bonnet and get it lowered, it would look pretty MINT
Plus its just over a grand it would cost more for the engine and to get one fitted

hasent got a carbon bonnet its just a new bonnet which hasent been painted
rung the kid and went over to look at it, as was nice to see another 2.5 V6 corsa as there isent many.
it need alot of TLC, the reason why it has steering problems is cos the rear manifold needs to be custom made to miss the steering rack, and what happened with this on it he hasent made it right, to when the engine moves back and forward it bangs the rack, hence needing a new rack (and if not sorted a new one ever month of so ) and powersteering problem is again the manifold is to close the the power steering pipe and has burn't threw them.
also like the comment "Will be excellant for a track day car" Corsa with this much weight up the front will make the worst track cars in the world as they do not go around corners

but for a grand mate, you cant really grumble at it and if ya spent another grand or so on it, stripping it out, roll caging it, cc it and lower it, then it wont be too bad and it would still be cheaper than getting a corsa and then doing the conversion

IIRC this car has been on eBay in the past, I think it closed at near to £4k last time. I can't see it being far of that this time. I hope not anyway, I do like the colour

This man speaks the truth - how the hell has got this figure, or has he just used a shite rolling road?
