It's reached that time where I’ve decided it’s time she goes. After the police impounded her last weekend for wreck less driving, lol, I decided it's time to move on. I know saying that won't help the sale. But I am a careful driver who gives it stick every now and then. 
Anyway I need help on deciding an asking price. Theres a few bits I’ll have to sort before she gets sold like a crack in the bonnet and the roof lining needs retrimming again. Not big jobs. It's just hard, knowing how much I’ve spent, but my mk3 astra c20let needs work and i'm toying with the idea of an astra vxr as well. 
I've owned her for almost three years. I bought her with one lady owner from new, full service history with 78000 on the clock. A 1.4 16v sport 1996. I then reached 101000 and the bottom end gave up the ghost, so time to change. I sourced an x16xe, rebuilt that December 2006 and a big end shell spun in its seat and starved the crankshaft of oil. So I then found another crankshaft and started the process again, this time going all out. See spec down below.
Car:
1996 1.7 16v Sport – Still registered as a 1.4.
71000 miles on the clock. Last two MOTs match mileage. 110,000 on the shell itself.
Engine:
X16XE Fully rebuilt Jan 2007 – Just less than 10,000 miles since.
F13CR Gearbox.
Bored out to a 1705cc using Vauxhall oversized pistons & rings.

ARP Rod Bolts.
SBD Ultra Light Weight Flywheel.
C16XE Head – Port Polished, Gas Flowed, Multi Angle Valve Seats, Enlarged Valve Throats, Matched Ports. Done @ SES in Braintree.
Autosprint Fast Road Cams.
SBD Cambelt Rollers.
Mantzel Style Inlet Manifold.
Modified Throttle Body – Lip removed & polished.
Pipercross Vyper Induction Kit.
Nology Hot Wires HT Leads - £160!! – Never Seen On Another Corsa Yet!
VPC Rally Spec Tubular 4 Branch Manifold.
De-Cat.
Full Stainless Steel Cat Back Powerflow System.
Roose Hose Kit.
Optima Yellow Top Battery.
Chrome Power Steering Tank.
Chrome Header Tank.
Polished Rocker Cover, Although should have a powder coated one available as well.
The Rebuild Included:

Every single nut and bolt has been replaced.
Serviced 3 Times Since Rebuild.
Remapped & Rolling Roaded at Courtenay Sport - 143.2 Bhp @ 6250 Rpm. 129 Bhp at the wheels. Top Speed on the Limiter is 137 mph.

Stealth Shelf.
Back Seat In Calibra Leather. The metal backing to the seat has been cut and two subs are behind in their boxes. You can’t see them as the foam and leather covers them but they basically punch you in the back.
Bodywork:
Smoothed, Extended & Bad Boy’d Bonnet With Custom Bonnet Vent.
Morrette Head Lights.
De Badged Grill.
DTM Mirrors.
Smoothed & Bad Boy’d Boot.
Number Plate Recessed Into Back Bumper.

Pioneer Tweeters.
No 6x9s Yet As Last Ones Are Dead.
2 12” Pioneer Subs.
6 Channel Audio Systems Amp.
Alarm:
Toad A101CL Alarm & Immobiliser.
There are a few dings in the bodywork here and there. It could do with a new drivers door as the last one is slightly bent from when they attempted to break into it after me owning it for 2 days! I may be able to source one before hand though.
I think that’s about it. This is all from memory at the moment so I’m sure I’ll think of some more later. So How much to Sell?
I've just reliased that because i didn't renew my membership in time i have no pics available so i'll get some when i get home. It Rio Verde Green. Cheers Everyone

Yeah that's mine are except 16. They look quite dark in the pics but they are gunmetal. Lovely wheels. Make sure you tell them they're for a corsa and you'll get the correct centre caps. I've just sent off for mine.

Cool, cheers mate =) How much are the 15" direct from Rota do you know? How wide are your 16" because I can only find the 15" in a 7" wide and no 6.5". Did you need any arch work? How much are you lowered by? I'm going 50mm front and rear on a 2000 1.2 16v SXi, do you think I will need any arch work if I go 50mm down with 15" by 7" Slipstreams with 45 Toyo Proxes? Cheers for any help mate =)
