right well got this corsa for £100 it was my old corsa from back in the day had no mot , and very little tax got the mot done which suprisingly cost around £200 all in

HERES HOW I BOUGHT IT ORIGINALLY IN 2008



then a few weeks after the mot the clutch cable decided to snap so thought about a conversion got a 1.4 sport and used the engine out of that which didnt go to well, as found out the car had a leaky water pump and i didnt know how long it had been drove around with no water in , seen as i drove home from huddersfield to manchester and i had to stop 3 times just to put water in , decided to get a new engine ended up getting a x16xe engine ran perfect whilst in my car for around 3 weeks ,then decided i wanted a 8v engine again as a mate has a c16se corsa and i thought it was great loads of room under bonnet and looks alot more tidyer, decided to sell engine again found a e16se on ebay and heres the finished results of engine will try find all the pictures from project

the 1.2 8v engine


the x16xe engine


the e16se engine half finished


how it looks at present getting a new shell in next few weeks

I know what you mean. E16SE's are a strong engine. 100 bhp from 1 cam and 8 valves!! A zetec S is 101 bhp and it has 2 cams and 16 valves!

It looks untidy in all of your pics. Wash it, put smaller profile tyres and lower it. Will be much better.

I didn't say anything about it not being mint. It is dirty in all pics. Give it a wash, polish it, put some wet tyre stuff on, take some decent pictures.
