after having 2 1.2 16v tappers i'd finally had enough so bought a 1.4 16v sport engine with everything to convert off R055iman and got to work doing it last weekend!
as i was bolting the new engine in my clever mate who is supposed to be a mechanic decides to cut a huge clump of wires off the dash loom and wreckd the whole job
so went out bought a corsa sport dash loom got all that wired in and that went wrong as air bag, eps and a few other things are differnt so a bigger job broke out plans for today are get ANOTHER dash loom off a 1.2 16v get everything workin and get my mate who has a knows what he is doing to sort the wiring out hoping to have it back up and running before monday

Not the easiest of conversions to be honest. The wiring is a nightmare. I had the change the dash loom to get it to work like froffa is doing.
