Not much of an update but I finally got round to putting the front ARB on properly, all the mounts are powdercoated but its so easy to flake off, I dont think thats normal for powdercoating

Also been creating a bolt list of odd bits I need to get from vauxhall to get it back on 4 wheels again which is a major milestone - Got some bits to sell like the half leather seats as I've now purchased a couple of Corbeau Revolutions that are going to sit in the Astra CDX track car until the Corsa gets on the road in 2050.


Front subframe, steering rack and arb 'fitted'






Cheeky shot of the rear beam thats all coated, looks good but theres itsy bitsy spots of rust turning up which isnt floating my boat so much but fuck it.



And cross posted from the Astra thread, the seats:



Engine build will resume soon, I still need a fuck off list of parts but I've kinda had a moment where I realised I need to keep this whole thing tickling along or it will be broken up into parts. So thats where I am.

well its not flaking on its own to be fair, it just doesnt seem as tough as I'd expect it to be. Maybe its the place I got it done.

standard inlets are very under estimated , plenty of people have run them at 400 bhp , matey with that astra runs over 700bhp on a standard inlet
