time to spend ages making the build thread on my corsa, please bare with me!

the car currently is a 1.2 8v shell with the 1.4 sport engine in it, its still running the 1.2 gearbox (rapid as hell for a 1.4).

spec:
fully stripped
lexan polycarbs (boot and both rear windows)
1.4 16v running 1.2 8v gearbox
calibra leathers
14" steelies with yokohama A539s all round
full front coilovers lowered 120mm
shortened rear shocks with 80mm springs with 2 cut coils
straight through centre exhaust and decat
flamer kit!
cotton green air filter

Image
Image
Image
Image

and on to the redtop
fully stripped to be rebuilt by myself it came with a courtney sport 'group n' chipped ecu

acid dipped and painted with new core plugs (has been painted red now)
Image
Image

before honing
Image

after honing
Image

then these turned up
Image

main bearings/crank in
Image
Image

pistons in
Image

inlet manifold and fuel rail back from paint
Image
