Looks fantastic, can't wait to see this in person at some point :)
The airbox fits in nicely Edd, I suspect you'll actually have smoother running now as well, great job ;)
Looks stuning as usual Edd, can't wait to see it again.
Are you not using the poly spring seats with the new strut top cups?

Awesome work as usual. Love all the oem stuff but also how your not afraid to stick some cool aftermarket bits on like the silicone pipework!
That's very kind sir, :)Quote:

Wtf is with them funny bots on the rocker?
Other then that it's nice.
Would like a 1.6 or 2.0 8v for my hatch, but can't find one cheap enough
One of my fave engine bays, bit impractical though...

That is fantastic, with some work and a good plan Edd you could do that.Quote:

There's always room for improvement
How do you know you don't get a small block one? Try working out a plan and staying close to it. Makes life a bit more easy....Quote:

This morning I met Jeffrey and Neik in Bristol, real nice chaps, and I can't tank them enough for brings the parts over, these guys should have some sort award for doing these trips
Oh and the waffles are awesome lol
Got this, bronze tinted tailgate glass WITHOUT the heating elements
http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/r...S/DSC_0215.jpg
Lucky to get hold of it, OCP got it in few weeks ago, never seen another, going to look great with the Zender rear spoiler
Also got a new bonnet as a spare lol
http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/r...S/DSC_0216.jpg
I do have the car booked for paint on the 22nd of next month, which will leave me a week after honeymoon to get it MOT 'd
Looking forward to driving it again, been too long
Oooo nice buy on the glass, that should look very cool.
Awesome, i'm really fond of this Sport, love all the things your doing to make it different :)
I thought they always had the non heated bronze in stock, just no good if its a winter car!!
Jeffrey told me they had not long got it in and was the last, maybe they had/got more I'm not completely sure, either way I'm happy it made it here
The car is allergic to winter/damp conditions so heated rear screen ain't needed
Haha to be honest mine is so old and damaged that its just like a non heated one. Already had the snow/frost test and it failed.
More stuff turning up now I've finished paying for wedding
Got these other day
http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/r...S/DSC_0222.jpg
Full set of new genuine mudflaps as I wasn't happy with the used ones
New wheels ordered, I'm all up for trying something different but I want wider tyres and wheels that fit properly tbh so have admitted defeat with them
Bodywork booked in
R5 GT T2 turbocharger bought
Tubular manifold being sorted
Few weeks it be back on the road all being well with more updates
Nice, I saw them mudflaps, I didn't go for them as there none nova ones, plus I've seen Opel Classic Parts sell the correct ones and there cheap.
Look forward to seeing the updates with the turbo setup.
Need to sort out rebuilding the low comp 1300 bottom end, that's the next main job for the conversion
I'd like to have all the bits sorted over next few months
Can you spill the beans on what you are going for wheel wise? Any plans to bring it out to a show this year?
Good work Edd, I personally never liked the old wheels, hope the new ones are a motor sport derivative, keep the updates coming
Shame your changing the wheels, but undedstandable.
The new wheels are GM, will be painted white with the bodywork to match
I know the wheels on ATM make it stand out but with the 175/50 tyres with 6J I have no confidence to drive to hard
Plus the camber shims on the rear make the rear feel very un nova like so it's all got to go
Zero point in sacrificing handling for looks IMO
