Reading this thread has given me some inspiration to get my project moving in the right direction.

How much were the coilovers and do you have to weld in box section for the rear shocks?

You still got that Cav?

Any gen Ste?

I'm up from North Manchester so rarely down your end in the car. May have seen you driving around in the truck. Do you work somewhere else?

My car is a Green Cavalier so doubt you'd noticed it, Just another taxi to you

Wish I didn't work could get the Corsa underway then.
This means you have no excuse and the XE should be happily sat in the Corsa

Could always do what the chavs do and not declare the engine swap

Is it a 1.2 now then?

Are the coilovers are straight swap on the front then?
