Was thinking how about Corsasport Building a Corsa for Charity maybe Comic Relief.
People Donate all there old parts which they dont really want, like i have uprated suspension, Carbon Bonnet etc doing nothing.
We build a Corsa will all donated parts, we put it on EBay and with the money it sell for we give to Charity?

Would be a bitch to organise but go for it if you can!
But think of the legalities with it being old parts etc, what if something breaks ??

we only need a shell, i am sure i can find one from somwhere.
No legalities as we are only selling a car on EBay sold as seen.
All parts donated are stuff people have in there garage and never get around to selling or doing anything with.

Think its a great idea, why not make it more interesting then and do something like say build a corsa in 48hrs and get sponsored, that could buy shell then the rest to charity

It would get Corsasport a bit of limelight as well.

I think anything should go.. Mods and spares. I was just thinking about donating my 14" softstars but got someone interested in them. If they dont sell i will think about donating them but stuck for cash at moment lol

Need a tidy shell for starters. I think spraying etc would be a bit of an arse ache.
Then put on it what ever people have......neons, LED washer jets. All that tat will be coming out of the woodwork

write a list of all the parts you need, post it and see who and is willing to give up what. Then you know if your going to get everything before you start and have stuff missing

Thats a good idea. Wouldn't you need to know what state the car is first?
