Default Corsa XE on omex and throttle body (project)

Ok my corsa XE is is a bit of a sleeper with some good bits on it and clean and tidy but needs a couple of jobs doing..

Details

1995 Corsa B 1.2 twist 3door
Caribic blue metallic
Very very clean on body no paintwork required mint
Interior very clean standard trim
decent tax and test and 67,000 ish miles on shell

This car is totally standard to look at other than some 15" cavalier gsi alloys..


The good bits

2.0 XE red top lump
Coscast head
Webber throttle body fuel injection twin 45 style
Webber filter socks
Omex full ecu and loom
5 speed cav std box
Spax coil over suspension
Stainless exhaust, made on car to look std but create power without the noise
Recent tyres
Battery in boot
rose jointed gear linkage
Battery relocated to boot and in box
Front strut brace powder coated
Rear strut brace powder coated
Roose motorsport hose kit
Roose motorsport anc hose kit
New header tank well last year
Ralloy catch tank
SBD inlet manifold
Alloy crank pulley
April 2011 Tax
April 2011 Mot
Nearly new vauxhall mats
Quick rack
im sure its been poly bushed too
Recent front discs and pads cavalier GSi size ones
Recent radiator as well corsa diesel
Rose jointed gear linkage was £200

So you can imagine it has had lots of money spent on it over the years it is 175bhp and 185bhp maps (two maps)rolling road print out as well, So its baically a std 1995 M reg corsa twist with 2.0 xe omex and throttle bodies and coilovers and a great exhaust...

Now here is the cruncher it needs we think a head gasket doing it drives spot on for about 10 miles and then it seems to smoke a bit more the hotter it gets, dont leak water but its using it, did a compression test and it made 240/235/240/245 across the pots and sounds great and chrisp other than the water issue it dont need anything doing...its white smoke not blue and smeel free not stinky oil smell..

SO PEOPLE WHATS IT WORTH HE IS THINKING £1500/£1650 ono somewhere like that or poss part ex

Yes just add the car is registered as a 2.0 on the log book and was registered and inspected etc approx 6 years ago now when it was converted over..

As you can see in the pictures the paintwork and body is nearly immaculate its a proper clean thing inside and out even the engine bay..

I am not 100% sure if the sony cd player and MOMO steering wheel will come with it as yet,
Also all the original injection parts can be supplied with it also

Service wise is had fortunes spent on it too... ideal breaker for someone just he wont do it and ive not got time really

As he aint got a lot of money and he is in two minds what to do, easy fix for someone i think he has over 5k in this as well but worth nowhere near it now,,,

But im thinking it could be a cheap way of getting throttle bodies and omex and engine, fuel pumps and hoses etc etc and it wont need rolling road set up ethier so as a donor for a kit/or track car its a good buy, Then sell the rest of the car or refit another engine IT will also come with all the original fuel injection stuff so another option would be to remove all the throttle bodies for your kit car and associated parts, do the head gasket and re sell the corsa for £1400 or so and then the stand alone throttle bodies have cost you nothing but a head gaskets worth of time

Why have we not done it you might ask, race season is very close, got loads to do, and now have bike power so no point taking bits of for myself, it would break for more than the asking price if you could be bothered...we cant
