Kyle the dash is just going straight back in as soon as the new loom has been fitted
lol cheers Luke!
Dan, thats the plan mate yeah. I'm not sure if its the same as the rest of the range but its worth a try while I've got one here. If it doesn't work I'll have to try and source another one. £105 + VAT for a brand new one  so Im really hoping my old one fits lol.

Yeah got a few updates to report Ant
Well the first thing I tackled was the gear linkage. I took the Nova one off the car and then stripped the old one off my 1.0 12v lump. I cleaned it up and a bit and then went to fit it. Didn't fit did it  It was a different shape and hit against the gearbox when you tried to change gear. I knew the Nova one fitted ok so me and my dad set about modifying it. I ended up removing the Corsa clamp part of the linkage and fitted it onto the Nova one. Refitted it and it fits fine! The only slight issue I have is that the ball joint connection is slightly loser than I wanted. I need to try some harsh gear changes to see whether it can manage them without popping off. Other than that its all gravy!
While I was fitting the gear linkage we also noticed that the speedo sensor in the gearbox was a cable driven one. So that was removed and changed for a electronic one to go with my new sport clocks
Now that the old loom had been removed thanks to the help from Luke and Dan I started fitting the new one. I layed it into the car and fed it through the bulkhead
Then the dashboard went back into place  and I started putting the loom into place
Then I started refitting the dash parts. Got a few bits left to do to it but pretty happy that I got this far with it
Then on Sunday me and my dad fitted the engine loom  We fed it through the bulk head and laid it in place. We started connecting up the wires, while we were doing this I found that I was missing a few sensors which I've now bought.
Next we started fitting and connecting the pipework and mounted the powersteering pump ready for my new belt to go on
Heres how the engine bay now looks!
There will be loads more updates within the next couple of days Its so close now I'm stupidly excited!

All being well Dan it should be ready to start then
Billy, thats sounds like the neutral position hasn't been set right to me. I haven't done this on mine yet, I've got it where I think it should be, Just need to get under the car to connect it all and try it. So you'd probably need to disconnect the gearstick from the linkage and move it over to a better position
Yeah Sean is right Faz, luckily the carpet can come out without having the dash out. Its not majorly important at the minute I'll probably do it at some point over the summer

Update as promised Its still not running though
During the week I got a few jobs out of the way thanks to my little helper, Luke  cheers dude! When the boot was resprayed and smoothed the rubber surrounds were removed so we got those refitted. Wasn't as hard as we first thought it was going to be thank god.
I didn't get quite as much as I wanted to get done today but still made good progress with it. The main job today was to finish all the pipework and wiring. When first started fitting the loom I noticed I was missing a few sensors so I bought then during the week and got them all fitted. This included and new Coolant temperature sensor, lambda, MAP, and oxygen temperature sensor.
Now that all that was sorted we fitted the loom for the injectors etc. Took us a while to work out how it was all going to go but we got there in the end. This then meant that I could finally fit my powerbox properly I cleaned the TB out and connected the throttle cable. I just need to extend the brake servo hose and make my vacuum hoses
I also painted my pipercross viper filter in Star Silver to match my other engine bits. Bought a nice Roose 45 degree induction hose as well to fit it with. I wasnt going to buy one from Roose to start with because of their rip off postage costs but I wanted all the hoses to match so thought sod it!
Heres we've left the engine bay for today. popped the viper on quickly to check it all fitted ok and for a quick snap Would have been rude not to lol
Exhaust was next! We fitted the second part of the raceland manifold and my new cat.
Finally a few pics of my lastest purchases
Oil catch tank
10" slimline fan
and all the fluids for the engine
Still on target to have it running by the end of next week. Plenty to keep me busy but just little jobs now

Looking amazing mate Cant wait to see it at PVS! Really need to pull my finger out and get my done yours is putting it to shame massively Did you have to put the vacuum outlet on the powerbox yourself as the one ive got has just got a small and large outlets but only two not 3 like yours

What you going to do about the air temp sensor in that roose hose mate? Interested cause I fitted my powerbox this weekend, and I'm after a nice tidy pipe like that for the filter, but was wondering if you would have to order a special one with a port for the sensor?
Looking amazing mate!

Cheers guys!
Jon, The kit came with all the piping for the vacuum hoses, I just need to cut/split them with T pieces to go of to their different points. The other outlet on mine is for fuel tank vent valve I think because its got a vacuum outlet on it as well.
My plan for the air temp sensor is to make a hole in the underside of the silicone hose so you cant see it and then slot the sensor into it...hopefully. I'm not sure how big the actual sensor is though cos I'm still waiting for them to deliver it. If its a bit beasty I might need to rethink it lol
