The corsa shell is alot stronger than the nova one, I know of a couple of LET corsas that have been around for a year or so and havnt been seamed welded and there showing no signs of bodywork stress

Sorry but 204bhp and a simular torque figure through a Corsa is gonna cause stress at some point.
Look at how easy the B-pillars crack.

Better to be safe than sorry, would be a good idea to have the front end seam welded, the spot welding that Vuaxhall used to manufactur the car is a but shopping cart like...
