Looks a good base mate, are you planning on making it a track car or just cleaning it up?

Had a closer look at the corsa today and stripped the interior out found 2 small holes in both footwells but I think this is the worse of it on the front cross member.

Hopefully that's the worst of it but I'm going to get a complete new panel and weld it in, might as well do the job right first time.

Also started stripping down my C14NZ engine ready to clean up.
