Well, bit of a trade, he did the engine swap on my car, while i cleaned his car.
Took him 4hrs from arriving to turning the key, pretty good going.
On another note, it took me 4hrs to clean his car.
Anyways, a few pics...
Hope you enjoy, cracking car & done all the work himself. Mine needs a wash & polish before i get any pics up, filthy!

Workshop is a newish vauxhall one, really nice place i think.
Iirc he's running 350bhp-ish. He made the exhaust, tip is from an astra 888.

Cheers guys, i'm sure he will appreciate the love.
I may be biased, but this is my fave corsa
Was well impressed with how the paint came up with the auto smart polish & collonite wax. Feels so smooth now, thanks Rich!

Why did you swap engines mark, was sure you had an XE in there? Or was it a LET getting put in?

Brilliant Corsa. Love how the intercooler is fitted properly into the front bumper, not just hacked in like so many you see.

White one doesnt have a thread as he doesnt use the net much.
My purple one just had a knackered c20xe removed & replaced with a working one. third engine i've had in there :O
Both are local cars, but niether get driven much.
Pretty sure TV have been in touch already tbh, think they collared him at billing last year.
