As said on Mig, looks fantastic dude. More polishing and some wax needed.

Sadly in primer you cant see all dents. But black shows up every dent now matter how small.
yet just keep going at it and hope for the best !!!
Yes, when you rub down primer do you use a guild coat? If you don't you should.
yes i do buddy, but dont alwasy show up the dents im affraid !

Looking good dude:)
Inspires me to go to the garage lol
cheers mate
will have a 100 % more progress next week !
You use my old beam mate?
using it on the other one mate, but gonna **** the hubs off becasue the hand break cable is at the bottom lol
ordered brand new setup from auto vaux yesterday OUCH
ive only been peeking in every now and again and not following this properly, i notice you just commented about vxr big end bearings! is this baby block turbo then?
yer baby you know lol
1600 16v turbo ftw
lush, sorry if you've already said but what sorta spec you going for and what kinda power do you think your going to achieve? can link me up if you have already said instead of typing it out again
im trying for 200-220 horse power
C16xe from corsa/tigra ect-free
Standard vxr rods and bolts £45 (something stupid like that)
Standard vxr pistons £200
oil squirter £30
rebore £80
Cometic gasket £100
standard vxr turbo £150
going to use standard head and i have had a power box made with the inlet on the passenger side.
You need to buy a oil filter relocation kit because it hits the turbo, also cut the thermostat housing in half and weld it back together 180 deg the other way so it also misses the turbo other than that evrything seems to be going ok
im sure i missed some bits
Had the bottom end re bored because the pistons an 0.2 mm bigger ffs, vauxhall also fitted the oil squirters in the vxr lump but im not sure if there needed. cant hurt though !
so im not the only one who thought having the throttle body on the other side of the power box is a good idea, it just looks much better on the right :)
up early today to go and collect every bolt from the last 10 years haha
Been degreased, acid dipped, zinc coated
Im proper happy with the results although the pictures dont do the justice, not a bit of rust/grease in sight
Gave the gaz coilovers a coat of zinc as well the went rusty in teh ****ing box :(
its so nice to fit everything thats brand new, come home just as clean as i left which was weird lol
Front legs built up, calipers re sealed and fitted. collected my wheels in the week but need another as one has a flat spot in it :(
not complete yet but it progress
rear end tomorrow i hope :thumb:
