<VV> Hey everyone..

[corsaconvertible]

All 180's were Corsa's, so it would not be correct. Does it at least
have the Corsa dash?

That may not matter to you though. Mechanically, with patience, care,
and sufficient cash, most anyone with some mechanical ability can
build the engine. Blocks are easy to by, engine sheet metal a little
harder. You may need neither.

Check the body closely, I feel a body that requires too many dollars
to look good and be structurally sound, is what makes people lose
interest in their project cars. IMHO, the amount of rust is typically
worse than represented.
