oh well...i would have had to wait for it in the post....and im useless at that sort of thing...always upgradin to 24/48hr delivery. I got the whole unit aswell though and given all i had to do was walk 10 feet from my front door to the breakers/bodyshop. Im pretty sound with the guy so he gives a bit of advise every now and then....although i did nearly leave today with a 1.7turbo diesel 5dr corsa lol...had 110000 on the clock...as O_o filthy and had mismatched panels...but the engine was spot on and he only wanted like £150-£200 for it. But i dont have the time or space to bother with it, plus i dont really like the look of 5drs.

exactly....but then again ive just started breakin in this corsa with like 53k. If it was 3dr would of had it straight away....but it did need a lot of advanced cleaning inside and out lol...that would have taken like half a week on its own before u can even really get a good look at it. But the engine was lovely and shiny underneath the dust and muck buildup...bout the only thing the guy did to it in 2yrs. Intended on doin it up...had engine bay clean/steam then got bored or sumin and left it.

yeah i was gonna just take the rear seat back bit apart...apparently it a common fix cos the catch is plastic. like £10 - £15 for a new catch which aint too bad

lol..i've had no mechanical faults or breakdowns in the corsa...pretty trusty car. And if u look after ur vehicle they tend not to breakdown anyway. gutter ur car got stolen. u get it back or claim on insurance for it?

m8...shouldnt have said anything lol....but i guess wen u thinkin bout ur car being stolen u over look that insurance may not pay out cos of small changes. They should have paid out for the car minus alloys pay out.
