heres some more pics of what we are doing, similar to a ferrari at work but with an astra front going on a corsa, been chopping little bits out of each section at a time to get a perfect fit, takes ages though but don't want the front to drive off and leave the rest behind.

yep, the astra suspension set up is much better and we wanted to fit the engine and thought why not fit the whole front with subframe.

still using the corsa front end pieces just gonna fabricate a bit. The jig is "Car Bench" its got loads of brackets and jig points coz the cars are aluminium so can distort easily under welding, takes ages to set up but quite impressive
