Picked up my ebay purchase today, Pics as prmoised, Corsa 3.0 V6
Enjoyable drive home, This is the quickest car that I have ever owned!
The guy I bought it from had it dyno'd last month and it put out 211bhp

Plans are, Roll cage, Coilovers, New backbox (not keen on the one on the car at the mo)

Tidy engine bay up a bit.

What you think?

What work does it need?

Just a good clean and a heat gun on the bumpers is all I can see?

It looks better in the pics than it really is. the bottom of the doors are rusty, both front wings have dents.

I do have another red corsa which is mint but a non runner so I'm going to swapp a few bits over.

can't put a cover on due to having the vectra metal cam covers, oil cap is in the wrong place so the normal v6 engine cover won't go on

It has been tracked before and 1/4 miled. Apparently it does it 13.4. We will see soon as a trip to santa pod is on the cards soon.
