Gearbox was dry today after paint so fitted the driveshaft seals
Then the 2wd plate
Then the rear mount and gear linkage
And all ready with the clutch cable fitted
Also took the throttle cable back today but they don't do the one I need so had to go vauxhall again and that's in on Friday

I wouldn't expect those wipers to last long if they are the cheapo ebay jobbies, I've had two sets and on both the centre of the blade has gone slack and stops wiping right in your line of vision.
Tis coming on well though

been busy the last week doing little jobs on the truck ready for when its on the road , got my mate to get me this little lot through his work
fitted the cambelt and water pump and all fitlers at the weekend
and some more ally to make some more ramps for it
but still been buying goodies for the corsa
earth straps
had to make a bracket for the speedo sensor, wanted it to be a bit heavy duty as didnt want it to snap lol
and then went up to motorsport development in blackpool today to get this
which inside is this
dont have a clue where the hoses go so will need help with that when the engine is fitted
dont know weather to fit it here
or here
also orded a battery box that should be here in the next day or so and a load of roose hoses, heard back from spa and they said they have changed supplyers for my gauge and its going to be a 4 week wait for it , also spoke to phil and he has the new pistons now so the block is going for its work on thursday then it should just need putting together
