Just going to clean this one up for now, Paint it and put it back in. Its not the original engine, Its done 110k so just going to see how this one runs. Was thinking about getting another x16 and rebuilding that engine while the car is on the road

Spent more of the wife's money tonight, Money well spent though i think.

Got the bargin of the year i think, Got these seats for a quarter of what there worth and they have never even been sat it. The guy that bought them fitted them to his project then he had to sell the car so a friend bought it to strip and i was offered the seats for a fraction of the price.

Pics......

And it just happens to have CORSA written on them and in the right colour aswell

They should go well in my wee toy, Cheers for looking guys.
