Yeh but Dan I told you it would have problems when you was planning on doing the conversion and you were like nahh it wont lol!
Youve done pretty much what I did and have 3 corsas then a saxo....but you had a few more than 3 didnt you? So that means youl get fed up of French soon and get another corsa

well as its been mentioned, i now have a silver mk2 vtr with low miles and i got it for a steal of a price. it has been in a front end crash but its got all new parts, everything is straight and it drives perfect. its the only french car i've been in that doesn't rattle haha. it has a moonstone bonnet on it and a dent in the passenger side wing thats the only problems it has.
heres some pictures:
i've had it since wednesday night and it is quite fun to drive, the drivers seat has already broken on my though
plans are:
anthricite vtr wheels
lower the back a tiny bit more so it abit more level.
raceland induction kit
spax spring and shock kit
pollybush
smoke the front lights

ye its had a new boot but the floor isn't creased the rear panel is dented like shaun halls corsa.(but has been repaired i can just see where its been pulled out).
end of the day its hpi clear, drives perfect and im enjoying it more then the corsa so if its had an accident or too doesn't bother me. it drives straight nothing is bent and the gearbox(although french) is as stiff as a vauxhall box so im happy

I'm confused, front end lines up properly you say but the bonnet is well out..

yes the front end is straight, the only reason the bonnet didn't line up is because it had a bad boy bonnet on and the previous owner sourced a standard one for the sale and hadn't fitted it propperly, its now all lined up and is perfectly fine, if it was any kind of dog i wouldn't of got it theres just a few tiny bits that need sorting but like i said the price i got it for reflects the work that needs doing and bodywork doesn't bother me anymore.
as long as its mechanically perfect and drives spot on i don't care and this does
