Well, in fact is (or was) an 83 SR with the brown interiorQuote:
Reshell it, all it is really is a Base Model Corsa with the Mattig gear stapped onto it
The engine is the original 1.3 from the SR, the previous owner fitted 2 Weber 40s on it

So its a base model Corsa GT. The shell looks too far gone to start a resto on it, so a decent replacement shell and possibly a 1300 sport spec engine? Maybe running injection?
No, Corsa SR. The Corsa SR existed from 83 to 5/85, it was then renamed into GT.
If I'll reshell it, I would put back the standard carb engine in, as it was when Mattig owned it.
The only bodykitted nova I like! I say re-shell it, not worth the hassle of repairing that. Or sell the kit and scrap what you dont want.
Find a mint shell and transfer the VIN number.. a little illegal but meh who's going to complain?
What a pity its got into that state.Why do some people buy nice cars and just let them rot.:mad:
restore it man!!
nice find, such a shame that it has been left and rotted badly, id say re shell it and put it back like the original photos of it. good luck to what ever you decide to do though.
Reshell it back to standard as a good piece of history, or my favourite option donate the kit to 4WD wide track project lol
I say cut all the kit off & ditch the shell, weld the old chassis numbers into another shell.
What a bucket though. I certainly don't like any of the mattig wide arch stuff. So 80's it hurts.
