Just done some ringing round, one garage is going to ask if any of there staff fancy having a go, and can use parts from another scrap one they have on site.

looks like it's going to be a bloody big job as you have to strip the hub and everything.

Where is stationmeik when you need him !!!!!

cant u go thru 1st choice spares . com (google it) and have them do the leg work, get two complete second hand hubs sent to your door on the good old mastercard, ideal as it has el scrapoes from all the uk linked up, and u just type in what u want and get them to text prices from various scrappies and they send u the price and it includes next (working) day delivery. hope this helps and ps, car is looking rather blingalicious my son!!

Well it look's like it might need a complete new rear end. everything is rusted solid. Teailing arms, dampers, hubs, backing plates, brake shoes brackets.

It's a mess under there, scared to touch anything incase it crumbles away to dust.

pomp it's an 8v, not enough power to pull you out of bed plus it's on wheel trims, original spec 8v calibra.

thinking if it can't be fixed, strip it and get a bloody corsa.

Please note - The car is listed as ‘cat C’ and will need a VIC check, (£36) easy process, before the log book is issued (free of charge). You will need to re Mot and Tax the car.

thats my problem no tax and no MOT.

I've put about £1000 all told into this car. including getting it home and buying it.

will have to spend a lot more getting ti right. should i get someone to do the engine transplant into a corsa ?

I just don't know what to do now.

If it cant be fixed why don't you just buy a cheap Cali 8v that has a fooked engine and put your 16v engine and wheels etc etc on it ?
