Update
Got given this by a mate at work.
Need to find a boss kit for it. Its an old type 6x 100mm PCD, but can make up an adaptor plate.
Do I need to buy a boss suitable for an airbag corsa even if I'm not having the airbag any more?

Update
Fitted new rear drum shoes today.
Went out for a drive and felt much better but there was still a lot of play at the start of the peddle. Got my brother to press the pedal whilst I had a look and a listen and heard a 'squelch' form the drivers drum. Had it apart and the slave cylinder has a very small leak.
Hopefully replacing this will solve the brake issues that have plagued me for the last 6 months

Update
Picked up my MHWs off 'Luke' on Saturday morning.
Gave them a T-Cut, polish and a bit of DoDo Juice Wax and they came up fantastic.
Fitted them just now and I'm dead pleased. Look much better than my replica MHWs
One thing that I couldn't help but notice was this sticker on the passenger side light
Which would indicate that this is an irmscher light, the other light is identical to it in every way even the small embossed writing etc, but it has no irmscher 'i' on the drivers light. There was some quite heavy scratching where it would be, they have T-Cutted out however. So whether they are Irmschers or not I guess I'll never know....
Also got this corsa dash mat off of him for that little bit more interior swarve.

Update
Pay day finally arrived which allowed me to purchase a genuine GM timing belt kit off of autovaux
So firstly I fitted the tappets in place
Then fitted the cams, cam shaft seals and cam sprockets.
And finally fitted my first timing belt got it right first time as well
Turned it over a few times and all sounds well.
Looking very engine like now, starting to feel quite proud
