That’s all I can think of for now but I’ll add to it if I do think of anything. I’d like a swap in an ideal world for a nice Nova/Corsa B in road spec. Anything considered really. As I have to put a price on it £3,000 but I know it’s not worth quiet as much as that so drop me a message if you would like to make an offer. I won’t break it for bits. It’s not a perfect car but it’s a nice clean example. All the work has been carried out since January 2012 when I bought it. It’s been a labour of love, reliving my youth but with a child on the way I want something I can use and enjoy as a family. The car clocks are is showing 55,000 miles. The engine has done around 95,000 but had the engine work carried out a month ago. The only welding the car has seen is a few patches to the front crossmember. Overall it's in great condition in my opinion. Not the best out there but a nice all round usable car. There are no major rust issues apart from a few scabs on the floorpan as would be expected but no major rot to contend with.

Full build thread can be found here with lots of good pics documenting the build.

hmm I didn't realise a lot of the links were broken! Thanks for the heads up! I spent most of it walking around the show to be honest and watching the hill.
