Just been and seen my car.
Stack Dash is in. Just needs a little bit of wiring, external lights fitting (indicators etc...) and the surround putting on.
The Corsa C Electric power steering rack is also in and working with all the wiring and its own ECU. That is a neat piece of work!
Other things that have been done: Had a new black dash to replace the shitty grey one I had. Bigger fuel pump to once and for all sort my ongoing problems.
Also while the car was completly stripped its had a lot of rewiring done, and my mate found a couple of small holes in the passenger footwell where water (only a tiny bit) was getting in.
I'll post some pics up when I get it back 
Overall I'm happy!

I'm really interested in how the PAS works mate, what rack did you use???
I have the PAS rack on mine but the pump is not in use and rather than trying to buy brackets and other odds and ends i'd rather just have the leccy steering.
how much is it to have it fitted

Its everything off a Corsa C, but its no 2 minute job! The wiring isn't easy, and I've been sworn to secracy LOL
Big Eck - TBH I think you would have to bin your current PAS rack and get the job lot off the Corsa C. You can also fit this to a Nova! You might be best using a Saxo electric pump for your situation?
Brad the dash is an ST8130, it only just fits where the old clocks went, looks factory though

Also you have to do something with the clutch pedal and you would have to take the entire dash out of your car to do it.
