Great progress matey.
Quick tip..you shouldnt jack a car up when fitting cage/strut brace
the strut brace is already fitted, and whats the reason behind that?Quote:

lol not wrong mike, its getting there, i have a bit of a bet on atm, my brother has just bought a mk1 toyota starlet, his plans are to drift it, so he thinks he can finish that before i finish my nova lolQuote:

mike, get on with it mate, you're slacking! lol
Personally i'd have fitted the lot in one go.
Takes a bit of "wiggling" to get the box meet up with the engine, with the box already in the bay. Lol
Good progress tho, bay looks a lot tidier.
lmao yes he has lol, and yep am slacking i've had this week off so i've been working on the car non stopQuote:

the car itself is now being turned into a semi track car, interior will consist of carpet up front and a dash board all of which i have thanks 2 my parts car that i have bought, pics soon lol
well heres nova number 5 originally bought as a joint project car for me and my brother, now its a parts car and will be getting stripped

little update, the interior is near enough finished, just need to fit the sparco pedals i've had lying about for 2 years lol

and the front
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...eshpics004.jpg
long time no see lol . had a slight change of plan with the nova, its now just going to be a sri with a cage. the engines in, new looms in and the 2.0 brakes are fitted, so it should be running soon, basically i've reshelled hendrix's old black sri. the plan is now to get the car running and tidy up the bodywork and maybe tune the 1400 engine abit.
engine and gearbox in minus the inlet.

and afew pics under its new guise. no pinned bumpers, and cylinder head lol, we were fitting a complete gasket set to the car when we found that the water pump had seized solid, so time to replace that, that and the track rod ends being a complete bitch to remove are holding me back, so is my everyday car which decided it didn't want to play anymore, so new exhaust and brakes for the corsa then lol
