ive ripped everything out of the engine bay now to start with putting a real engine in so whilst all the parts where out ive cleaned/rebuilt/painted them, coated metal parts with galvanising spray for protection (and its a great primer) and then a couple coats of satin black, i think the black is working well with the red.
empty bay again :-)
brill stuff that galv spray
and incase anyone was wondering, alternators arnt easy to dismantle, ended up masking off the insides with bog roll lmao
got one of the engines ready and bolted box up
gathered a few more parts too
not easy putting engines in on your own, no slidey no likey
and thats where i left it last weekend, hopefully get the head gasket on this weekend, head on and torqued up, then fit rest of engine up.
For the time being im gonna ditch a couple of plans to make sure the car is ready for PVS, Im not gonna bother fitting the astra dash or corsa column as thats something i dont want on my mind when I should be concentrating on the engine bay.
and i need to ask you all a favour, if your on facebook could you please vote for my to become the north east regional organiser for SFS performance.
simply type "marc hedley for north east REO" on the comments of this picture

would be a massive help guys, you can also follow the updates of the car on facebook just search 'vauxsausage nova vxr' or click that, dont forget to hit the like button to follow.
Looks awesome! Will be very nice when its done
Looks like there's nothing to the front end with those crossmember/slam panel mods! Gonna give the crossmember a quick lick of paint while you're there?
Looks sweet though, you get all the braided lines made up already?
Update required!
sorry ive not been on much, really dont think im gonna have it ready for PVS12, which im a bit gutted about but working away from home i just dont have the time, Ive got the engine in place and most parts on it, just need to make my mind up what to do with the rad/water pipes and the intercooler.
but I got the corsa b servo put in place yesterday, reduced the pedal box down to just a clutch pedal and mounted the electronic throttle pedal.
couple of pics
decided just to put the nova dash and harness in for now to keep it simple as i just want it running now, may make some changes in the winter though.
