just looking round and seen that gsi kits are goin for 400 odd quid. And i've noticed how much other parts of corsa's can go for. I was thinking if you pick up a gsi for around 1500 quid, couldn't you easily make money by splitting the car, with a bit of patience. Wouldn't you eventually sell all the bits and make money on it?

if you pick up a gsi for 1500 i dont think it would be in great condition therefore you would struggle to make money
