Some will remember this from the first time i owned it but anways i got it back

I've set my self on completing this now and getting it back to its former glory

1st build thread:
http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/viewthread.php?tid=589296

I thought i'd make a new build thread as the other was a tad cluttered

anyways i've not done a awful lot in the 2 weeks i've had it back just alot of part collecting
but i have a few pictures and more will be uploaded

plans:
fit track rod ends
fit sportex system properly
get cage shotblasted and painted white
fit rocker,plug cover and timing cover (getting powdercoated black and blue)
fit new sills
fit new arches
fit manifold heat wrap
get new bumpers
morettes or depos
bad boy bonnet
possible respray next year

I had jason (linch) come out as there was a few untidy wires and faults and he shrink wrapped the loom and soldered all the dodgy connections/bodges so its alot tidier !
went to turn it over and its not having it. Think it might be the crankshaft sensor so hes bringing one over midweek to test it.

the documents have came back so i'l be taxxing it tomorrow and fitting the front lowering springs and undersealing it.

anyways heres a few pictures

Roose motorsport top radiator hose and led numberplate bulb

header tank,chrome rocker bolts,oil filter and opel anti theft dust caps

safety devices rear cage

African rear lights:

new exhaust test fitted (do hav racetube aswell):

engine bay:


Its getting a new clutch and release bearing fitted this week, should hopefully have the rocker etc back from powdercoating and have it running !

more pics to follow when the rockers etc are back
