right ive just bin able get bk on to my project , yesterday and today i bin working on the car on me own keeping in mind ive never changed a engine before lol
so to this moment the old engine has bin taken out , new clutch fitted then new engine put in . still need to sort out gearbox as ive lost a few but adams kindly told me what to do , also just need a small hose for the new radiator i got from scrapayard .

old engine still in already taken radiator out





A/C didnt work so ripped that out


new engine painted and ready to go in


new engine fitted (was that busy fgot to take pics of engine taken out and new one put in )




finaly radiator put in , then impact bar put bk on

Looks good that pal, like the engine insert thing too

If you want the Ecotec one tho, i got one from vauxhall for £2.50

lol thanks i made it in like 30 seconds using spare plastic mesh , thought it looked quite cool. ano i might nip scrapyard tomoz and get one when i get the few lil bits i need to finish the engine off

Its faiir good

Which scrapyard do you go? Jackson Street?

yer , well i usualy go mallys in haydock but mannn is it muddy lol , so yer hopefully jackson street should have a corsa in. wher do you go on night ?

looks really good that kerion hard days work urve had

doing things urself is the best way to lern i find

Well iv not passed my test yet, Well its next tuesday

So i cant really go anywhere haha, Iv seen a few people on B&Q tho, Is that were you go?

whats15w/40 oil like in ya corsa? iv always used 10w/40,and my mate uses 5w as its thinner lol

yer im glad i did it myself ive learnt quite alot in the short time while fitting it although next time i would like another pair of helpfull hands to help me lol
yer in real life it looks 1000x better before the engine looooked horrible and rusty but now ive got quite a decent one underthe hood thanks to a pot of black engine paint and a wire brush lol looks alot newer so asoon as gearbox fixed and hose put on should be able to find out if it runs (hope it bloody does ! )

well i usualy use 10w40 but as im runnin the engine for first time with it not bin running in ages ive gone for 15w40 as thats the recommended oil for a 1.2. but after that if alls good ill go bk to the usual.

the new engine painted black looks top mate u done a good job there , you done a good job to get the engine in & out on ur own keep it up pal
