Advice needed!

[Trivs_Tom]

My corsa b 1.2 16v decided yesterday to have a bit of a fit and blow the head gasket (haven't dared take the head off yet..)

The main problem I'm having is: do i
a) repair the 1.2 and hope for the best
b) repair the 1.2 and get shot of it
c) 1.6 16v or 1.6 8v conversion
d) attempt to gather around £800 and buy my brothers 1990 Eunos Roadster from him

As I havent looked at the 1.2 yet i dont know if it is worth fixing, but this is assuming it is..
I'm short on cash, mainly from discovering how useful it is to be a member of the AA, and go on holiday on wednesday so I'm going to sort it when i get back home.
but any advice will be appreciated!

I find that particular engine to be particularly prone to overheating, and once they have overheated they often crack the head or warp it badly as its awful quality casting.

Option b and d for me too.

failing to see how driving round in a 2 seater rwd at 21 is gay but each to their own!

browsing cars for sale is making me tempted, for example a cav sri on 89k for £500 is too tempting
