Some nice thick metal getting welded in.

14ish gauge (almost 2mm thick) plate welded in, as i wasworried about the strench for the tie bars.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...Image065-1.jpg
All done.

The bottom of the splash sheld was plated in 03, and coverd in seam sealer, then i've painted it over in blue, when i wire wheeled it all off the sealer had held the water in and it had rusted out.
So it was cut out and plated. And my welds tidyed up.

All the weldings done now.
The all of the arch was resealed with a 3m rubberized 2pac sealer, which is the best stuff as it stays rubbery so wont chip. This will then be painted over. (the red light is the inferred heat lamp needed as its 2pac)

Benn i forgot to say Corsa C brake reservoir caps come without the sensor built in. I know you was asking a while ago.
Ah cool cheers Jay, Aw did offer me one which i forgot to buy..lol
looking good benn! Lol at the dust in your phone! How's the engine coming along?
Yeah its full of it. Gonna be finishing the sump to moz, need to strip and sand the dizzy housing, and stat housing too. Then buff everything up.
Then the sump can all go back on. Wanna spray the head to clean it up too.
The rocker cover back on, then i can rebuild the inlet.
We need "buffed " piccies Lol!
Pics of a quick go on the sump 3pages back John.
All looking good Ben, that sealer/stone chip's the business mate, thats the sort of stuff i was after, as i wanted to replace and i took off, but don't think you buy it like that?
Scott
Cheers Scott, yeah its the best sealer going.
You can buy, but you'll need an air line as it has a gun attchment.
I can get you the part numberr if you want it.
Cheers dude, but I'm not bothering now, already started splashing the underseal all over it! lol
Think there is this shaltz *SP like it on ebay, but you need to buy gun's that attach to the can etc.
Scott
Also Mk5 Astras Benn
Might be scott, but the 3m stuff is really the best stuff.
Cheers Jay, will have a look at the weekend. Altho thinking about it.

Road trip tomoz...
Looking good Benn, Where you off tomorrow?
You'll see, oop north tho.
You taking your bucket and spade?
Do they have beaches up there? Thought it was cold and snowy/rainy..
Looking good mate :) :thumb:
That Sump looks :cool:
Cheers guys.
Sump is cool as feck but completely pointless as it'll be mingin cos you drive it every day lol!
That sump looks cool as!!! Your rite the top two are breather pipes that connect to the rocker cover. The two underneath, one you'll need to splice into your header tank pipe (water system) and one back to the manifold next to the alt bracket...there for the automatic choke;)
Keith the wheels hold up quite well so i hope the sump will to.
Cheers, got most of the pipes checked now. The bottom ones you talk of are the inlet warmer ones. I knew about so thats cool. But as far as i know they dont have anything to do with auto choke.Quote:
