Is a full partout worth it for a rusty 2008 Corsa D OPC? (failed project)

Hey everyone!
I could really use some advice/experience regarding a project car I'm stuck with.

I bought a 2008 Opel Corsa D OPC about two years ago. Unfortunately, it turned out to have way more rust than expected (body shell, one door, tailgate, sills, and rear side panels are in pretty bad shape, unless someone welds in completely new metal). Sadly I simply lack the time, equipment and money to continue. I started a few times, but it never worked out.

Right now, the car is partially disassembled (bumpers, lights, interior trim, etc. are off) to start the repairs and to paint afterwards. The engine, wiring harness, and ECUs are still completely intact inside the car.

I'm currently figuring out how I am going to sell it and would love to hear your thoughts:

  1. Is it worth fully parting it out (pulling the engine, wiring, etc.) and selling every single piece separately? Or is it way too much hassle for the money/time it takes?

  2. Or should I just sell it as-is (partially disassembled as a donor car) and sell the loose parts alongside it?

Has anyone here done a full OPC partout before? It would not be a problem to get rid of the remaining shell, but is the extra effort actually worth the money?

Appreciate any insights or experiences!

2006 Opel Astra H 1.8 leak help

2 Upvotes

Hello, i think my opel astra is leaking from the oil filter housing.....
I am not sure where exactly.. the mechanic recommended i change everything and he's charging around €480.00.. is that a lot?
He's asking like €210 for the part which is insane from what i see online.

I only see the part on it and there's no other gaskets like manifold, coolant hose...

Anyone has done this job? how long did it take?
If i do it myself.. what gaskets do i need?
I want to make sure before i dig in there.

Is Astra J good?

3 Upvotes

Hello! I'm currently thinking on changing cars and so far I've stopped on Opel Astra J (around 2010-2013-ish models). The only key requirements for me are for it have less than 200k km and for it to be petroleum engine and since the car would mostly be driven in urban conditions I think that the 1.4 would be more than enough for me. I really like how they look and what they offer, but I want to have some info about this particular model (if possible this engine) so any tips as to what to look for in them or what should I be cautions about with them would be greatly appreciated. Also if you've owned or still own one what do you think of it? Thank you a lot in advance!
