Very impressive stuff! Orange paintjob would have looked cool, but feel that the red and white is more in keeping with VX's motorsport colours etc too!

UPDATE: 14th July
Been out in the workshop today working on the car again so heres some more progress piccies:
Fitted the battery tray and battery in the wheel well:
Also mounted the plumbed in extinguisher, behind the co-drivers seat so its out the way:
Wrapped the lighting loom in plastic cable wrap and clipped the loom neatly around the engine bay:
Freshly powder coated bottom arms sat next to spares which need to be stripped and powder coated:
Fitted with Powerflex bushes:
Then fitted to the car:
Powder coated front link arms, just awaiting the bushes:
First coat of black hammerite on the fuel tank:
And how I left it tonight:
Also, re fitted the front headlights, sorted out some more of the loom, fitted the rear anti roll bar after having that powder coated too.

what bushs do you plan on running in the chassis to tie bar brackets?
I honestly think youd be better off using the later sport brackets and bushs if you arnt already

powerflex ones tend ot pull out, standard facelift sport bushs are bigger and generally better than prefacelift ones

Is that the case even if you have the right ones because they do two different types and my ones were tight as fook to get in?

UPDATE 23rd July 2007:
Hello again everyone. Back from hols now and spent most of the day up the workshop with dad. Main job on the cards today was to pull the engine out the Nova, give it a clean up and get it in the Corsa! So here is today in pictures.
First of all, engine out the Nova:
One empty engine bay!
The engine with its new home in the background:
The engine now sat in its new home:
Cam cover removed and off for powder coating:
Harry Hockly Motorsport engine mounts all in place and fitted perfectly:
Modified arch liners fitted:
And the observant of you may have noticed the front link arms are fitted (yes, with Powerflex bushes Broster!!) but the lower arms have been removed! This is because I went and the got the arms off the Nova shot blasted and powder coated, but didn't realise that the Nova arms are shorter than the Corsa arms!!  So the Corsa arms are now in for powder coating and should be re fitted soon!
And how I left tonight:
Thanks for all the comments guys, keep them coming!!
