cut a long storey short, iv possibly found a 1.2 8v corsa that im tempted to buy, break the current 1.6 16v sport for bits to fund the XE block build im on doing, then eventually put the XE in the 8v

can i keep the sport on the road outside my house and break it for parts providing its still taxed?

it wont be insured anymore as il be transferring my existing policy over to the daily used 1.2 8v

also, while im on, how the fuck to insurance companies get their prices, its going to cost me £33.90 to downgrade engine size

You'll be getting plenty of complaints and the police will turn up. If it does look a mess then im sure they'll find something illegal about it to tell you to shift it, like sharp edges for example.

Cant believe you're selling your car to fund that engine build, you could of bought a full engine for around £300 and would of saved selling your modded parts aswell.

Seriously, dont even bother trying to break a car on the road. It'll get shifted by the pikey bell ringers and it'll cause your neighbours grief.

I've stripped my puma in the garage and onpy.gets pushed out onto my drive when I need some more space. If I left it out, it makes the road look like a shithole.

cheaper to gan mate, means more money towards the XE build. and when/if the XE goes in the 8v it'll look standard so no need for fancy lights, bumpers, and spoilers...

obviously il be keeping a few bits, starter loom, black interior plastics, lecky windows, rad, tyres for 15" steels...

whats a 1600 sport worth as a whole though when people can pick up a XE corsa that 'rinses scoobys and has a genuine 80k' for £900

and the fact i want to keep some little bits here and there.
the 8v im looking at is dirt cheap cos it leaks fuel, use the fuel tank from the sport, bobs your uncle fannys your aunt

Just had to declare my corsa sorn after 4months of it being taxed but not insured. They send you a warning letter first then fine you if you ignore it... Just try and break it before you get the letter lol
