r u gonna just swap things over to the new one mate, or start a new project from scratch ? think
Posted By: Waddi Re: Lawton: Vauxhall Corsa - Green - 31st Oct 2007 11:09pm
What happened to the Astra idea, what spec is the new corsa.

if your gonna strip the old corsa to put the parts on the new one, wouldnt it have been easier to transplant the new ones engine into your old corsa.
