I am planning on opening a garage (as i am a window cleaner at the momment)

I have done or been involved (had friends help) which every bit off the car from respraying them to fitting the engines.
I hate giving work to other people as there is a chance the work will not come upto my standards......

Im not a big fan of corsas but they both look great biggrin

The white one is going to be mental if you get anywhere near your 450bhp target smile

I much prefer the more subtle kit on the white one. Enough so that you can see its a little different, but not silly.. where as infat its very silly biggrin

Please post back with updeates as you do them.

Remember seeing the black one in Total Vaux a while back, is awesome. White one is looking interesting. Does each respective engine drive the respective wheels (front:front, rear:rear) ?

Wow good job, also good to hear that the works being done by yourself. I've tried a few jobs myself but i dont have the experiance or a garage!

I was putting a VR6 into a MK2 Golf in the street so you can imagine the looks i got!

I bet it must be a nice supprise when people come up and say "Why do you have a V6 bade on your Corsa?" Then you pop the bonnet smile

yes very nice! How does it cope round corners with the big V6 up front?

ETA that manifold is a piece of art!

Thanks for all the comments.
The black V6 i did turbo using a SAAB/GM low compression unit BUT it poped the head gasket within 30mins as its was hard to cool the pistons which are farest away from the water pump. So i gave up on the V6 and started the twin engine.
