Tidy. Has it being seem welded yet?
More than likely everything else has been done.
Just thought id ask cause i was told it wasnt seam welded when the engine was put in.

i would go with stich welding rather than seam, as its a road car and still needs to flex a little,
also, i dont know if it needs it or not?
nova with a c20xe yes, flimsy car
corsa-b with a c20xe pretty strong, can handle it, chasis plates on front memeber is enuff
the c with a turbo? not a clue if it needs beefing up or not

i personnally don't think it does as its a newer stronger shell with a new engine.

Whats the point? The power delivery isn't aggresive and I bet the ZLET doesn't weigh much more than a Z18XE anyway.

Agreed. Its not aggresive at all, nice surge of power, brings a big when it does.

As a fellow owner of a C, I can honestly say I wish my car could reach what this C is one day. <3 it.

Why would a 2004 corsa c need any type of seam weld or even stitch ? Even my mate's 340bhp corsa c has no chassic/body moverment after two good year's of abuse. The chassis and most of the shell imo is the same as an astra g of which the z-let come from. Did the GSi abd Coupe T get seam welded by vauxhall as they dropped the z-let's in them...

Circumstances change and I think the fact Stavs prolly needs a bigger car and a Van probably sealed the deal.
Very good buy no expense spared on that car. Always wanted to see how it went

Thanks guys, realy appreciate the positive comments, for all those that can't believe he sold it well can i just say that if you don't ask you don't get, i asked months ago about a post i had seen him write and from then on things started to get serious untill yesterday i actually bought the car.
As Stavs and a few others on here will agree - "Everything in life has a price" - however this does not apply to me
