Will it be ALOT harder than doing it to a 16v corsa? Also, is there a way of doing it without the fitting kit because Beardy was telling me about it, get hubs machined and use XE shafts and make my own mounts, but he doesnt come on MSN any more (or hes blocked me) and didnt reply to one of my PMs so, in need of some help! What did he mean by "get the hubs machined" etc?
Any help will be great!

use the corsa shafts and hubs with astra inner cv's if you on a budget you can then put the proper shafts and hubs on later when you have the cash...
get the 1 driver side engine mount you need of lee mitchell.....
TBH i'd just keep the corsa shafts and CV's.... granted i would would think you might go through a few outer CV's but i think it beat the hell out of paying 600 quid for a fitting kit or machine parts downs to accept astra shafts and hubs(ive heard horror storeys)
8v corsa's are easyer if anything to convert....
