mike, get on with it mate, you're slacking! lol
Personally i'd have fitted the lot in one go.
Takes a bit of "wiggling" to get the box meet up with the engine, with the box already in the bay. Lol
Good progress tho, bay looks a lot tidier.
lmao yes he has lol, and yep am slacking i've had this week off so i've been working on the car non stopQuote:

the car itself is now being turned into a semi track car, interior will consist of carpet up front and a dash board all of which i have thanks 2 my parts car that i have bought, pics soon lol

long time no see lol . had a slight change of plan with the nova, its now just going to be a sri with a cage. the engines in, new looms in and the 2.0 brakes are fitted, so it should be running soon, basically i've reshelled hendrix's old black sri. the plan is now to get the car running and tidy up the bodywork and maybe tune the 1400 engine abit.
engine and gearbox in minus the inlet.

and afew pics under its new guise. no pinned bumpers, and cylinder head lol, we were fitting a complete gasket set to the car when we found that the water pump had seized solid, so time to replace that, that and the track rod ends being a complete bitch to remove are holding me back, so is my everyday car which decided it didn't want to play anymore, so new exhaust and brakes for the corsa then lol
