good, 1.6 is good choice, and 8V FTW !! lol i think eventually in a few years when my insurance de-creases i will hopefully get a 1.6 in it. skirts would finish off the look IMO but looks great at the moment pro job !
My car looks sh1t at the mo :( Cesaros have now gone to a new owner

Hi Jay

There is a place just outside Devizes that does shot blasting if thats any help mate.
Me and Pete drove past it yesterday
Cheers mate, but as usual my dad is getting them done for me lol

Right was having problems with my Astra steelies last week because of them being ET46 and the balloon 195 55 15's they were catching on the rear arches sometimes.
So got some FREE corsa steels 6x15 ET49 today at work and wanted to bed my Goodyear's in anyway so i chucked them on at work. Tyres will b swapped over when the Comp's are done, oh and i may be doing something different with the Mo's... :D

Dads so busy at work at the moment, so I'm getting the car back this week and going to do the door handles, fuel cap and boot grab handle myself.
Comp Mo's are still getting done haven't got them to the shot blasters yet but i will this week hopefully. Not in no real rush really as this rubbish weather will only make them dirty lol!
So the steelies will be staying on for a few weeks, going to bed the new Goodyear's in at the weekend, prob take the car to Southend on Saturday with the Mrs.
Pics to follow with my proper camera at the end of next weekend hopefully.

7 Magners later and the Elec windows are now fitted and working perfect. :)
Hopefully if i can get down my dads yard, ill fit my Steering wheel. I might also put my bonnet lifters on.
good buy with the engine jay just a shame your selling the Mo's
Cheers mate. If the Mo's sell, they sell. At the mo i have had no interest. If they sell i will be purchasing something a little different. If they don't sell then ill get them shot blasted and painted up... But not White :)
gloss black would look good the steelies look good on it in black mate,
If they had been the older flat spoke Mo's i would have snapped your hand off for them

No not really a fan of Black. Steelies actually look better than i thought they would. They are not ment to be on there for looks lol But actually look ok.
wondered who had brought Craigs engine, very nice engine went out in it a few times before we took it out, quick:thumb::thumb:.

Yes matey had a look at your exhaust. Think im getting a ashley twin box system at the end of the month (if seller still has it). If not ill maybe look into it.
sparkie1401
12-04-09, 03:23 PM
there is absolutely nothing wrong with a dirty big block
Cheers mate. If the Mo's sell, they sell. At the mo i have had no interest. If they sell i will be purchasing something a little different. If they don't sell then ill get them shot blasted and painted up... But not White :)
Noooo, MO's should be white! I learnt this with my last set!
Going to try something different. At the end of the day if i don't like them i can always spray them again.
Fuel pump arrived other day. But is wrong!
http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e46/jays_nova/S1051612.jpg
What's that pump out of? No scrappies around you to go and get one yourself?
Fuel pump was listed on ebay as "mpi in tank pump" was a bargain and took my chance! There is but rarely have old cars in mostly newer cars.
Engine will be here in about an hour :) Pics to follow.

bet it's like christmas at your hause now Jaylol
Thats a corsa fuel pump so is technically "right", as it is a mpi pump.
You can strip it down, remove the pump and solder it to your spi housing if you want....h
Woop!

Cheers mate, shame it wernt here when you dropped the engine off. You could of had a proper look.

I reckon it would look mint with all the wiring hidden & the engine & gearbox (everything) colour coded in Miami Blue. That's what I 'd do anyway.
Also, my mate that was having my BTB 4-branch for his TB'd project has backed out.
Craig pm me details of mani.
Craig think ill pass on manifold. Need to spend money on things i NEED not WANT lol. Fcuk keeping it a secret anymore.... the Blue kevlar is being used to make a custom scuttle panel and spark plug cover. Also MO's are going Anthracite :)

liking the anthracite idea, will suite your car colour 100%
i liked the black cesaros and think anthracite will be even better, i had my stock evo rims done anthracite, now ive got blacks rims which look good but i may do em grey again
hurry up an get some pics up
I need those steelies!!!! lol

What colours you going for with the rocker and inlet?
Hope you'll be changing cambelt and rollers and water pump while its out.
And giving it a good paint and clean up too...
Jay is that oil in the cambelt covers? or just the way it looks in the photo?

Jay get your dad to prep paint them, as i found out, to prep and paint them to a "good/high" standard is not easy.

Oh.... Well is there any one els you know that can do them? as i did a good job on the prep and paint side of things, but when i applied the lacquer it went tits up!
Saying that, yours is none metallic, so you should be alright..
