Spent today cleaning up my gearbox, also painted up the wishbones again, along with the rear gearbox mount which I had the spacers welded to.
Steam cleaned, then wire brushed the gearbox. Gave it some etch primer then hammerite smooth metal paint. Came out quite well and the paint hopefully shouldnt flake.
No pics of the other bits as they are still drying and quite frankly boring to look at!

If you find the water leak and its a hole that needs welding up gimme a shout[QUOTE]
you mentioned changing the timing pulleys for the earlier metal ones bud... are the oil pumps and backing plates not different and prevent this? pretty sure the newer setup has a boss on the pump for one of the chocolate idlers. . .
someone correct me if am wrong though!

Hey Andy, your right, the standard metal tensioner setup wont fit.
However my engine builder said he can get replacement metal tensioners that just replace the late spec plastic ones. The same as the type you can get to replace the tensioners on a small block 1.6 16v XE.

Ordered some new bits from Autovaux which arrived at the weekend. The backing plates for the rear disc beam that i got from Opel Classics in germany came without the blanking plate/rubber for the mechanism to slide on.
Took 5 weeks to source them as they are NLS, but managed to get some. Thanks again to Autovaux!
I've also not built the rear flanges back up ready to bolt on to the axel once my plated bolts arrive back.
