1. not find another corsa chassis as clean and as comfy ride as this
2. never intended on changing the engine in this to start with
3. cant afford to put the 1800 rite as i wouldn't want it bodged like it already is
4. i wont sell it as i dont sell broken cars... the engine up forsale however, could make a good project for someone as its already had the head done, belts etc... i just dont have the time to put it back on normal 18xe1 management, and change to a suitable gearbox

Why did you sell a normalish fiesta for some scrapper of a corsa again, after converting the engine in another scrapper to an engine that doesn't work?

It doesn't look that clean to me, and what makes it more comfortable than the other thousands of Corsa B's on the road?
Lotus Elise 111R
Impreza WRX STi

corsa b's aint that comfortabke in any form unless you go for a balls out gaz set up even then aint that good for the road0(better for track i agree etc)! i like the b but i would have personally sorted the lump in there as its not a common engine and looked good!

Would have been easier and cheaper just buying a corsa with a 1.6 in it already.
