update:
exhaust is on, 14 inch tigra steelies with new tyres are on, interior is all nearly out, just need to start fittting it up. got a mint 12k mile black dash today, but no black carpet. :( oh well with mats you wont see it...
sounds good mate.
Btw next time im in Hull,if i see you on your back wheel down spring bank i'll throw a banana skin at ya!!! lol lol
Make sure your seat has a netto bag over it and a can of kestrel super in the drinks holder for full win points
Carpet here FOC if you collect it. lol
one day someone will turn up at your door and pick up all these parts youve "given" people lol lol and spuds cav lolQuote:

andy, i also need to tuck my trousers into me sock on me chain side.....lol:thumb:
Free carpet in exchange for a days wrok Rob? lol (seriously)
fine by me, what you need done?
Erm,
XE 3x Cavs & 1 Nova
X16XE 1x Corsa & 1x Nova
Build up 2x Cavs
And just a general tidying afterwards. :D
get all the nova xe bits together, and we can do it in a day.....
All is here already, same as the Corsas. Cav conversions take 90mins each MAX.
Seriously, I reckon if I had a team of say 3 men here along with myself, we could blitz the lot in a day.
the missus says make it 2 days in sept and we are there. :D
Depends on said days as baba no.2 is due in the first week of September.
Kewl, so if you roll it into a field it will pump fuel all over your broken body and your last words will probably be FLAME ON! lolQuote:

update, my lovely calibra heated cow has been fitted to the corsa rear seat backrest, and the seats have had the nova gte runners taken off. tania kindly got to work with the leather feed and polish and it now looks like new. just need to sew the 1 inch split on the drivers bolster up, and boot black the worn edge. happy days. fitted tomorrow.
note to self: soldering iron gas.....
Get pics up or your paint man stole it. lol
How would it do that unless you connected the blue wire that is on the Corsa loom?Quote:

lee, now you say it....
You need to try the blue wire that comes out of the ENGINE loom lol
ferk.....lol
i haz phails. poked the blue wire this morning, and et voila, it works. cheers dude.
LMAO!! Pat attention Rob. What you doing with the door cards?
i have black ones in mate, managed to get most of a 5dr black interior.
progress is slow, due to taking the black dash out on sunday in pi$$ing rain giving me a nasty flu type thing, tho i'm determined to have it at pvs.
small update, it now starts on the key, there was a break in a wire behind the fuel pump relay. its still fighting me tho, it starts and ides perfect but wont rev. as soon as i try it dies. thread in mech....
Leathers like moi! :D
Good luck getting the backs to fit right, took me ages to get them nice, if your using the standard Cally rear base, youll need cable ties lol (thats how mines held down, and it passed its MOT liek that!), and dont expect to be winding down your rear windows in a hurry, as the winders foul the sponge :thumb:
That back is a pain to get in aswell, the sponge is too big for the Corsa, so it wont sit right back into the locking tabs, youll be kicking yourself Rob lol
Any problems fitting it give me a shout, ill lend a brain cell or two :thumb:
EDIT:- What did you use on the seats? they look like new!
kissey dave, i swapped the leather and foam from the cally seats onto a 1 peice corsa back, which it fits perfectly. the base is tie wrapped in. tania makes orthotic footwear for a living and has some natural shoe polish that also feeds the leather. thats just 1 coat btw. i use an old sock, like a glove and just got busy with it. :thumb: mums offered to sort the split in the drivers seat after pvs. she was an upholsterer and seamstress.....:d
right small update, flash tested and the ecu say crank sensor, so im gonna try an old one i have here....
IF you need one, let me know as I have 13 though of them.
flol, fitted my spare, and it fires but wont run. so i checked the fuel pump just in case, and the tank.........
is dry. i am a tard...
Yes.
update.
put some fuel in it, and it fired straight away. and revved fine. then i noticed the oil pressure light on. oh noes, so i looked at the engine bay, revved it at the throttle body and the bottom end is knocking. like a ****. so i looked at the dash, revved it to 4k and it goes out, but as soon as you let off it comes back on, at which point i shut it off, packed up and came inside. i have no idea and tbh i dont care.:witch::mad::mad::mad::cry:
oh dear :(
indeed mate. i dunno whether to break or get another motor.
thats what happens when you try and build on a budget imo
surely another bottom end can be sourced easily enough
Just stick the head on another block
