Nova is more raw, more track use. more parts

Corsa is softer, suits rallying and grass track better, but can be put on track with the right kit.

It'll probably always JUST be behined the nova though.

You need to weld up the bay in novas unlike corsas, novas are a constant rust machine, mine got buggered after a year because it was at my mums beside the sea (salty sea air = rust) and the winter roads, small bubbles of rust turned into holes quite quickly
We need some of that stuff japan use.

white xe would save time and money, lock damaged one would be ideal to start with

no harm in asking for advice and nothing wrong with waiting for the right car to come up, any way forums are mainly here so people can get info and guidance
