Awesome project, loving it

Will be taking pics of this at PVS for sure

Looks like a fantastic job on the conversion though, it seems right at home there - almost looks like a factory fit. In fact it would look like a factory fit if it wasn't painted and they made made a Corsa V6

Update:

well bit of a emotional roler coaster over the past few days, yesterday we got the exhaust system all finished so i could take the car home, the manifold blew a little but we hoped it would shut up, so off i set, first thing tracking was out a good bit, so that needs sorting apart from that it was fine after traveling 19 miles (21mile back to my house) all of a sudden it started tapping, so i instantly pulled over and turned it off, after towing it back to mine fenny came straight over and had a look, neither of us was sure what it could be so off we set to tow it back to fennys to strip it down, after getting the plenums and rockers off everything seemed fine, so next job was engine to be dropped to find out why the manifold was blowing, turns out the manifold was warped, righty oh, so thats gone off to be faced and ive ordered a new gaskit, we think the tapping was one of the layeers in the gaskit slapping against the other as there are clear blow marks on between the layers,

heres a few piccies




broken down


il hopefully have a update tomorrow of it fixed again these things are sent to try us im afraid
