Having known Neil for a number of years now, he contacted me about a me building him a C20LET corsa.
After threwing ideas and numbers around i had his shell collected with a few bits in the back  (how the hell you got them all in there i do not know)
So without even seeing the car it arrived in a little bit better state than i expected.
I will be doing a complete build progress on the car on here as Neil is around 200miles away an has no way of keeping an eye on everything
Quick run down of what he is having :-
- Complete shell strip down
- Full shell repair of any damage, rush etc
- Fitting full GSi Bodykit
- Full repaint in White (inside, outside, full engine bay etc)
- C20LET installed
- Large hidden intercooler with custom pipe kit
- Everything hidden or tidy away
- Cage welded in and painted
- Seats mounted
So heres how it arrived to me 
*****Update 02/04/2008*****
Car has been moved into its space where it will live for the next few weeks, everything has been taken out of the back to see what was missing. Made a start removing the engine

hard to really say BUT i would say between 4-5week and then it will be booked in for its MOT. Thats without any BIG set backs.
100% will be at PVShow which is 8 week off.

This is between me and Neil really as i tell everyone they can be a number of differant paint finished from quick blow over to perfection free.
ALSO Neil has supplied alot of bits himself which he has been collecting for a while.
Feel free to contact me for any quotes listing everything in details you want as its easier to give a better idea of cost......

Just to wet your lips
Not going to give out full photos until its all together and polished as these photos are right out of the gun.....
photos do not give the finish justice its really good and once polished will be like glass
