Took the engine block outta my car today in the freeeeeeeezing cold, with the intention of removing the crank to send to someone. HA!! the bottom pulley had other plans. decided to leave the gearbox in and drop the block out the bottom, but needed all the pulleys off to get a bit if extra room to slide the flywheel etc off the gearbox spindle, but the bottom pulley was on tighter than a nuns chuff, broke one reducer, three sockets, and nearly smashed my hand tryin to chissel the bolt off.......heres the result of my work, needless to say the crank is not coming out....ever
The next craze in engine conversions.....the 1000bhp invisible engine from mars.......
My invisible garage, its very warm in there....

Bit of a shitter that crank, recon you may need to take it somewhere to get it driled? if so then aint good

the centre strut on the slam panel, is that just on certain models of corsa or should it be on all?? mines a pre-97 1.4LS & it doesn't have one, but all other corsa's I've seen its there

Hmmm weird...
my old horn was mounted on the little red thing, right hand side of the centre strut looking at the car from the front, its about an inch square (you can see it on your pic) & temp sensor is at bottom middle where strut is
