Updates as promised

Done a bit more undersealing today. Did the front inner arches this time as there was some surface rust starting so I thought I'd nip it in the bud before it got any worse.



After a clean and coat of underseal, sorry for the crap pic, It was getting a bit dark



Next job on the list list was the refit all my ancillary hoses back on I bought some lurvely stainless steel hose clips to replace the manky old ones as well





Quick pic of my freshly painted drive shafts



Also bought a new header tank as my old one had gone brown. I thought about trying to clean the old one up but for the price of a new one I thought I might as well get one



Removed my old exhaust system today as well. I had a right game trying to get the backbox off. But after a good spray with some wd40 is came off Sold the backbox to corsabrad off here who just collected it for his misses car, cheers mate

Mate this is fantastic.

The engine looks amazing.

Attention to detail has always been the strong point of this build.

love it, i know what you mean though mate drove the corsa earlier even with the few niggles it was actually better to drive then the saxo and that was (weirdly) mechanically perfect so it goes to show corsa's are boss, one of my problems got fixed by a good rag earlier haha
