    im keeping that in the corner of the shed incase i come across something i need then when its built i will strip the cav completly and scrap the shell
    i brought a mint 60k calibra turbo that i have known the owner of well
    for the last 4 years and gave 300 quid for it sold the lump for 1000k and striped the shell for the f28 and all the running gear and interiour and sold the bare shell on

    alan your right i wont need spare clusters in the boot was it you i helped with the idol control valve on an xe nova at pv?

    yeah jay towed the corsa to my workshop in the end i ran round it for an hour or 2 like a mad scientist got it up and running for him spot on gave him it back he had it on the road an hour and managed to blow the xe up towed it back and he had droped compression completly on 2 cylinders i think the cam belt jumped a couple of teeth and bent the valves as far as i know its still in bits now. i warned him when he built the lump to torque everything properly and use lock tite on the tensioner bolt but never mind

    to be honest i was planning to have this done for pv but its not gonna happen now i dont think. this was at the begining of january i was hoping to be further ahead than i am now by mid january but for various reasons ect i didnt even touch it until the start of feb then with the truck accident ect nackering my back i cant see it beeing back on the road until august
    i will trailor it to pv though

    and mike and burgo thanks for the comment its nice to see two guys that fully understand me and my way of thinking
    considering having it painted black with chrome handles on the side and a giant reith on the roof as everybody is convinced that the way i used to drive it at 150 plus everywhere before that its certainly going to be my coffin this time round!
