Hahaha, It's not been an easy ride. She's done around 2k miles now though.
Don't think I updated in lately but I had to swap heads 3 weeks back as there was a slight hole behind a piston letting in water

Saving my pennies for a let, Almost had one but the guy was a tool

Latest update it it's bbeen back on the road for 1 week since I had to rebuild the engine
I think a valve guide gave way damaging the head and 3 pistons.

I bought a another engine and used the head and pistons out of that with my bottom end and conrods.

The spare block will now be bored out to 87mm and built up using steel rods and low comp forged pistons to be run as a Turbo

Looks wise there's no change

Not to worry though as I managed to get 2 from the scrappers. One is a black GM one the other is actually an Irmscher item with 3rd brakelight. Although the Irmscher one is in silver i'm not happy with the finish so both will be sprayed up.

Irmscher spoiler trial fitted.




Only thing is I fancy a white 3rd brakelight, I've found one but i'm not sure if the red or white is better looking

I think I clear brake light with a light smoke would work well with your rear lights

A white would look good against the paint work yet again as stated above smoked to match lights

Shame as i'd love a smoked one.

I've now got the clear brakelight and think I like it that way as it fits in with the silver paint.

No real big updates to list atm. Latest update is that I finally have my driveway back.

Finally got rid of the Cavalier.



And as the Corsa stands now.
