I got them off Beardy but there his old ones, doubt he has any more.
These do the same job though

They were on eBay a while ago but can't find them but I found this,

So did a bit more work today , don't have as much time now due to changing jobs any way couldn't resist fitting my top hat cover



My new door


Got the let on my stand finally, so going to strip the inlet down and clean it up , wrap more of the loom and paint the block, still need to decide on what colour for the rocker cover




Got a manual steering rack
Comparison of the pas rack and manual


Just need a bulkhead bung as the pas one doesn't fit the manual rack


And on


Has brand new track rod ends aswell


Still need to finish painting

The bulkhead steering rack rubber bit is cheap as chips from Vauxhall, bought one for my old Corsa.

Looks good though, get it finished!

Went up today to do a bit more got some brake fluid and a brake bleeding kit



Unfortunately the bleed nipple on my willwoods is at the very top and is a 1/4 size had a socket but no spanner so I've bought one off eBay tonight. So brakes still need bleeding
You can see the tiny bit right at the top



Trial fitted my top hat cover defo think it finishes the engine off



So seeing as I didn't get to bleed the brakes I thought I'd begin tidying up the engine this red gasket sealant has annoyed me since I got the let



Off with the top hat



Top hat ...


Throttle body gasket :/





Gonna take off the inlet as there is oil in there


Cleaned up the top hat



Had a check on the timing belt, doesn't look too bad but I will probably change it due to the tensioner being in the wrong place should be at 20 to not 10 past


Going to replace the turbo oil feed pipe aswell as it doesn't look in the best of nick ..




And I'm gonna replace the sump gasket



Cleaned throttle body



Just need a gasket for it now !

Cheeky shot




And my gasket ordered


I also bought this last night to bleed my willwoods



That's all for now !

So, my spanner arrived which allowed me to bleed the brakes properly. The corsa has gone now


And is here now ....
