Excellent Mark

Seen a few of these in process. Can't wait to see the finished article.

And ^^^ above, the red under the cover looks like the old SRi to me?

yup its the old SRi iirc.. and the grey one you canb see in one o fthe In the garage pics, is his wifes lovely mistrel grey nova, mark has C's been painted yet?

No wifes hasnt been touched lately, just about to upload some pics from tonights work

Decided tonight to get the engine a step closer, had a faff on getting head bolts sorted but couldnt get proper original hex heads with out getting them shipped from Germany, to much hassle for such a little feature, even Vauxhall have stopped doing the old style so I settled for genuine Torx heads bolts. Few bits are fitted loosely to see how it looks, others are there to stay, will be changing a few nuts and bolts in time for stainless ones and a bit more cleaning with good old scotch cloth.

Inlet manifold I had left in acid with the local cylinder head guy to try and clean it up, its better but not perfect, he also did the throttle body aswell
