So much effort and good work put in, but sadly you'll never get back what it's worth.
Try and take it off the road for a bit if you can afford to. Get a cheap runabout, cheap insurance and just stick the Corsa on as a second car, limited mileage, etc.

joff, i have got a 2nd car, a nova gsi rep, j reg, full black interior etc, i use it to go 2 work and back
corsa does less than 2k a year
i wasnt in it 2 make money, ive spend X amount of ££ on it, but its a HOBBY, could have pissed that up the wall, but at lease ive summit to show for it
not bothered on how much its worth, just interested in a value without AND with a valver for my own interests
if some1 approched me and made me an offer i might sell who knows
at the end of the day ive done what i want to do to it, now i want to experiment with big ICE and engines, but might do this on another car

get it featured then sell up
once you have done that its a good time to move on, as you said ICE and engines
the money you spend on getting a 2.0 in yours plus cash for your car could easily get you a nice jap motor or at least somthing powerful to begin with
easy get 3.5k to 4.5k for it IMO
mine went for 3.5k and I only advertised here and dony south maybe if i hadn't wanted a quick sale maybe i could of got more?

1.2 younger
2.0 more chance of someone bit older and already with a corsa buying it
also you have to think about where you sell it, i made sure mine wasn't sold locally so I don't see it being thrashed and abused.
how much to put the egine in?

To be honest, I didn't used to like your car that much.
But it looks fcuking lovely in those pics!!!! Put a 2.0 valver in and keep it forever. You'll never get the money back on mods, why not keep it and regret selling!!
