My SR spat out a chunk of rust from the door today when I shut it. I am thinking of reshelling her as the parts are good but the body is not (and its a lovely faded red).

Since decent bodied novas are few & far between I was wondering how much stuff could transfer to a Corsa. I have seen a Corsa with an E16SE in it before so thats not a problem, but will the astra 16v brake setup and nova suspension set up fit onto a Corsa?

Also Has anyone seen a complete nova interior in a corsa before? As I hate their interiors and don't wanna give up my GSi one!

cheers for any help

Also are the wheels the same offset? so I can use my Comp. MO's on a Corsa?

well my brothers have a corsa b with a nova GTE engine in running about 135 bhp, they have nova suspension, 16v brakes, nova exhaust and even nova hubs on as well. Im not sure about interior though but im sure it could be possible.

What about an Opel Corsa a from Southern Ireland?

Rust free, mint cars and most are 1 lady owners from new.

Yeah, Corsa A = Nova

Due to salt not being used in Ireland during the winter etc, Corsa A's tend to be mint, no rust or rot. And there are plenty of them about but no Corsa A GSi's, very few sold in Ireland.
