Yeah, by the sounds of it you'll have to play about slightly no matter what goes in. But I think the 1.8 might be slightly cheaper than the 1.6, possibly newer, and a few extra bhp for what it's worth. More interesting too imo, seeing as you can already but a Corsa with the 1.6 so the 1.8 makes it a bit more of a special conversion

Specialist insures normally do a fair deal depending on your age.

if i was you id get looking for a clean low mileage sport.
personally id do a conversion but thats because i can do the work myself easily, if you dont really know what youre doing it will end up costing more and more as you go along

main part of the car affected by ragging is the engine
however it is probably a pretty solid shell
