Not massively... £800
When you consider its straight from a calibra though and pretty unmolested apart from a hybrid kkk and evo 2 chip i thought it was quite good
It was from 110k car apparently lol

Un molested apart from copy chips and a dodgy booster. Yep, bargain mate.

Same colour l piece as johnnys car isn't it?
Strange rocker cover to have on a standard calibra. Least it had the block painted at 109,995 miles

Did you see the calibra, if not it's more than likely had its head smashed in daily and been in about 10 different corsas over the last 10 years, in saying that what let hasn't? Getting a complete one that even looks remotely like an engine these days is a job in itself.
Glad your going let and not pikey b204 route
Gonna be a cool car this is

I despise the saab route - fucking shite
And nope but it came with all the airbox and mounts etc from the calibra... Not sure why he would lie as id already given the cash when he said it
Yes it will, bodywork first and then mount it and respray
