It was this mount I was missing, thanks to AlexW for sorting that out for me at a good price, top lad him.

After getting the engine in I spent most of today adjusting the coil overs and tightening some nuts and bolts up on the tie bars/bottom arms as I had just put them on quickly before and had to swap some of the bolts and find bits I'd misplaced lol
I raised the front end up on the coil overs by 1.5 inch

Its still too low lol
next job was figuring out what plugs on the loom went where, not sure I have it right but this is just a mock up, going to have to find a wiring diagram for the C16XE loom and X16XE engine

Once that wiring is figured out and done, I've got some jobs I love doing :(

Gotta sand them back to bare metal as the primer kept reacting, I've got some nitromoors to help me along with it but even that takes its time, got to take the doors back to bare metal too :( I hate this part of the build lol
My mount not good enough for ya?? lol
Its coming along now,shame on you for putting a mucky engine in fresh bay
Get an orbital on them wings,i had to do the same mate,its trash!
Dont use mors on them,crap,nasty,messy shiz
Alex offered me a good deal which I couldn't refuse to take lol I'll clean the engine up a bit before it hits the road, or maybe after, but its not a priority really as the Vauxhall cover will be going on which will hide the dirt lol, plus this engine wont be in for the long haul if I can get the modded engine built up asap :)
Orbital?
Orbital sander, 100 grit will have it back to bare metal in no time. One of these... not even £25 IIRC

So if my car isn't on the road by then I'm pretty ****ed.Quote:
