hello everyone, been registered on here for a while but never really got round to coming on 
today ive bought a P reg Corsa 1.4i Vegas 5dr edition, for a small price, im only 16 (some of you may know me from PNG) and it needs afew things doign to it, main one is a new ignition system as the key is still with the theives (bought form scrapyard basically). its going to be my college run-about.
basically, ive been told i need a key, transponder, doorlocks and the ecu from another 1.4i corsa 8v vegas, is this true? or will any corsa ecu work?
and also, some pcitures for you all, if they work
any help appreciated, starting to repair it tomorrow

im quite sure your ecu will be fine. go to scrapheap wearing a big hi visibility storm proof jacket and buy keys and locks. make sure you get the plastic ring with a woire attatched to the ignition if there is one on yours. stick an ecu down your pants aswell just incase
the big jacket covers the ecu in our wasitline

mine has the unit to recognise the chip in the key yeah, so i shouldnt need an ecu?
we tried to start it today using what was left of the ignition wirees, the engine management light flashed with the ignition on and it just turned over, i presume this means its chipped?

the ecu, transponder and chip go together so you will need these to match, door lock wise ditch them and fit an alarm
flashing eml light is a sigh that its imobilised

You might get away with just the box under the barrel so long as you can get a key.
Don't think you'll need the ECU and don't think it'll need to be a 1.4. It certainly won't matter whether it's a Vegas or some other model with that engine in. In fact I'm not even sure the engine size will matter.
Probably cheaper to buy just what you might need and go back if you need more.
