well i got my engine fully rebuilt. Everything went to plan apart from the oversized bearings needed to be 1200 gritted to fit. The last pic shows it shrinkwrapped as it needs to stay in my garage whilst we spray the car. The Rocker will be being painted but for now its just sat on.
Well i managed to get the car in paint now. These are all the photos of it going from red/pink/silver/rust to Orange!
As you can see i had no luck in blocking the sunroof off so i got myself a fibreglass roof. It went on perfect and i cant even tell its there.
Car is now in the pearlecent colour as well but i havent got pictures yet.

p.s what hapend to the 1600 lump?
i sold it to a guy who then blew it up.
I wanted to go big block as i already had the engine. I fell in love with it in the astra gsi and i fell in love with the nova's driving characteristics so thought i would combine the two
