[Adam-D]

got it out today, decided to remove the redundant pipes, found a spangly fuel pump, i guess its new

but the tank.//..... i was gonna waxoil it, but after wire brushing it, it looked hammerd.

so ill get a new tank

couple of pics



pipes and stuff i dont need


alter'd a engine mount with a grinder,

[Adam-D]

tank has arrived

[Adam-D]

it erm, got painted black. waxoil black. all of it.

[Adam-D]

i got the brakes bled, dot 5 fluid throuout. while i was doing that i noticed the handbrake looked a little scetchy, so i undid it and its hammerd, frayed to f**k

sooo i got a new one


and i found a oil pressure gauge, with sender.
im not a fan of lots gauges for no reason
this one makes sense, and for £15 i dont care if it lights up fancy colors and looks tacky

[Adam-D]

small update, after realising a fuel return pipe was needed, and some sponge on top of the tank, i had to remove it.
so with that done, i got on with replacing te handbrake.
and im not sure if there are 2 lengths for a corsa, but mine was too long, so after altering a old socket witha dremel thing, and some "big hammer" modification, i now have a nice new handbrake.

secondly the drivers engine mount i got, was for a 2ltr conversion
so now thats for sale and ive ordered my new correct mount.

next job was to fit the box and clutch, unfortunatly the mian oil seal looked a bit suspect, so ill replace that first


back of fly wheel

[Adam-D]

right i have connected the fuel tank up now, and undersealed the whole car,

refitted the fly a new main oil seal, and clutch and box.

engine should be in a week or so.

a project ALWAYS goes over budget and over deadline!...
