Good work mate. Looking like a track slag now!
Not really fussed on painting the parts that won't rust really, and unless you do a top job I think it looks worse when they get scratched and chipped etc.
Im in a state of shock here. It has 4 wheels on it? Nice work Iain, does look very clean, wait til you run it through a gravel trap though!
Not long now eh!

Set the running ride height today (dropped there rear an inch or two as it was wayyyyy too high):

Front is still a little high but it can't go much lower due to travel issues, boo:

Rear looks nice though, and at this height there's still an inch of clearance all the way around the tyre:

Bulkhead wiring sorted, all engine-loom related stuff and the starter motor wire has been taken through the big grommet, and the car-side (alt, sensors etc) has it's own hole next to it to make it easier should I ever need to remove the wiring loom:

Should look tidy when it's all taped up:

Made myself a little blank to sit on top of the original grille here to try and stop water gathering in the Corsa servo:

Shouldn't be too noticeable from the outside really:

Whipped the rocker cover off:

And filled it all up with oil all over the cams, unfortunately I've ran out of oil before it was registering on the dipstick, otherwise I was going to try and turn the engine over on the starter:

Loving how everythings so mint and fresh :cool:
What travel issues at the front???
Just don't think it can go much lower as there's probably 1.5 inches of travel before the bumpstop, not sure how much it'll need though. It's sitting level and low enough anyway.
yeah your not going to really know suspension setup until its up and running out there
