Cheers Jamie,
Its staying with the 1.6 in there, Just going to get it looking mint before it goes back in. So far av got the fourbranch and the powerbox, Got someone keeping a cylinder head for me already gas flowed an ported and comes complete with kent cams in it. Just need to get maself a set of pulleys to finish it of. Maybe once the cars all finished and IF the wife lets me it could be throttle boddies :D

Cheers guys,

That nova is minted, Not a mark on it anywhere. Only one thing wrong he took the original steelies an wheels trims of for that day and everyone told him he should of left the original wheels trims on. It looks so much nicer with them on.

Back to the corsa,

Got a good bit done the day. Cleaned the tank up as much as poss without buying a new one an got it painted, Got the heat sheilds done aswell. The welder never came so couldn't get any undersealing done :mad: Then decided to make a start on the aerocatches. They are taking ages to do, Got one of them finished and made a good start to the other. Will finish that next weekend.

Pics......

Image

Templates measured and stuck in place

Image

Image

Holes drilled in the front panel and bonnets pins just placed for now

Image

Image

Then the cutting started, Not got pics of the holes cut.

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

The bonnet pin on the passenger side all lined up and fitted

Image

Image

Will have the passenger side finished next weekend.

Slow progress the day but it all helps to get the car ever closer to completion :nod:

All comments welcome guys :thumbs:
