Well im guessing that anyway?

Yes the bit that people regard as a baffle plate is a windage tray. I thought I would try make it public so not everyone goes around saying 'I got a baffled sump'. I have a real baffled sump now, so in the pub I can score extra spec points.

Having a REAL baffled sump is hardly shonky tho is it?!
That's the beauty of shonky opels... the specs still there mate!
An update and a few pics thrown in that I like!
Progressed quite well today.
P clipped the nearside brakepipe to keep it safe.
I then fitted a new clutch cable, I now have a clutch and have a rough idea where I need to cut and modify the brake pedal.
New thermostat on, all the pipes I don't have, have been measured. I fitted some one already
I then took the suspension apart to fit new poly sport bump stops, the other ones melted in the fire. I also replace the passenger sperical bearing in the top mount as I had already done drivers one. I fitted the long driveshaft, but couldn't fit the short one as I'm missing an inner CV, I think I threw it away as I can't find it. So will get a new one and a boot.
I made a bracket to hold the rad. Then mounted my new fan, I was going to mount it on the front. Luckily for me they sent a rear mounted one to pull through. This meant I was able to mount it in the standard place...
...and as I have loads of space there it meant the oil cooler could go here...
Now need to get Lee866 to make me some hoses up when he can.
I tightened all suspension joints and bolts. While I was doing the suspension stuff I decided to play with the height settings, I wanted to achieve a 'Low that Benn likes'. I won't be sticking with this but it looks cool, I also still have suspension travel and could go down some more
I adjusted the DZUS fasteners using washers so it holds the bumper right. It'll never be 100% but it holds it on and i'm happy with it.
So now I'll let you see a few pics, took them as I used my SLR today
Oh and the engine is in
Sweeet! Its going look even better than it did before the fire incident!!
When you hoping have it done by?? Combe in April a possibility???

SLR.... I thought the pics looked good. It's really coming along nicely now Rob, all those little jobs & fiddly bits to do.
Want it done by may mate, still a fair bit to do. If it's ready for coombe i'll prob give it a shakedown and re learn to drive it. It's changed so much it's not even near the same car!
I agree it looks better in photos
Nova's always seem incredibly odd when you back into one. Shakedown or not it'll be like whacky racers.
Looks like I may have another very soon as a daily, uhoh!!
