Been thinkinga bit recently about my next project, im really struck on doing a vauxhall viva. Has to be a 2 door though an having a nice little sleeper. I'd basically re-shell the corsa into, 300+ bhp in a small rear wheel drive car would be much fun, and will of course stay nice and standardish on the outside. Just wondered what peoples thought were on them.

Here is an example of one i really should have bought as the chances of dfinding such a good one are low.

well i like the manta A series, the later ones are too lardy for my liking. Other choices are the kadett or chevette but the chevette is a damn ugly car lol

vauxhall viba was the 1st car I remember me mum owning as a kid - bright yellow.

She said it was the best car she had at the time!

Opel Kadett all the way! Badge it up as an SR (the 1.8 version iirc) and put 300+ ponies into that!

opel kadett c coupe would be my choice. the senator straight 6 will fit in at a push. My mate had an ascona rwd for years & we basically fitted full manta 2.0 running gear into it. it handled like most cars wish they could.
