well yeah,theres that in it too
Thanks Craig for the wheely thing
I had a day off today, and it stopped raining at 8 so time to crack on.
Which left me with a shed looking like this.
One thing I can say is an XE is flipping heavy, my back is hurting after lifting it in the shed by myselfWhich was the colour I went lmao
In the back ground you can see my BTB manifold which came today
The back end looks Sporty
Engineless engine bay
Time to speak to a scrap yard we use at work and see if they can pick it up like it is.

Aww, poor van. But on to better things!
They're there, in their room.
lmao I gave the rear 1/4 a kick, and beat the front wing with a hammer
All them years of it doing my head in, and I never lost my rag, or hit it, made me feel better.

That shed is a mess, You should be ashamed.... but at least now i dont think mine is so bad!
You wanna sell the recaro's?
I've tidied it uplmao
They're RS Turbo jobbies, welded to Corsa B subframes.
The hard bit was getting the engine over the first two steps, and the last bit into the shed, but the the trolley was great even through my long grass.
Thanks again.

I've mostly been collecting bits
A SBD type C, from Mr Spanish.
2 1/2'' Magnex, sorry forgot your username, but also off here
On the weekend I drove all the way up to Yorkshire, to see Dave b, who gave me these which was very nice of him
So now all I need is, some new coilovers, some wheels and tyres that fit my new brakes set up, and a car

looking good mike
Cheers went to have look at GLS (Goes Like Stink) after work today, in really good nick underneath, and it's got EPAS. But he wants too much for it.

I know of 2 corsa's that could be up for sale? Need to track down the owner of one, it a base model in red. The other is a corsa sport in white, bodywork is tatty though.
Cool let me know, I'd rather a base model, but needs to be good underneath, and everything working.

you need a LS (Light Speed) Like monty + ronnie in your life......
You should have bought Dan's Corsa...
I'm louder than gods own revolver and twice as shiney.
The Van was a LS

It was no good, having A/C and all, also it looks just like my other one

The one im scrapping is essentially a good shell, The doors atleast are mint. Its just a shame that for the cost of a respray you could go and buy a better one.
Will drop that cesaro by your front door next time i pass if i remember.
shame to see it stripped and you should of asked for help as im sure me and Alan could of helped shift it all to the shed.
Good man thanks.

Cheers, but Alan was out at the time, it wasn't too bad anyway. But my back was a bit sore for a day or two

The Van was picked up on Friday with a skip lorry
I ordered a few things from Skurrays, one of which was a O2 sensor for the Sport the MOT man said may emission were out when I went, so I finally got round to fitting one today
I think it's a bit dodgy with it only reading from one port
On Friday I got another set of wheels, that seem to fit a lot better than all the others I've tried so far
Flipping 4 pots

Nice load of parts you're collecting there MikeCant wait to see your progress, should be a real nice spec when you're done mate.
Thanks Ben, sorry didn't see your reply.Nice load of parts you're collecting there Mike

I now only need, a car, and tyres. So I can get started, on the build.
I bought these which I'm pretty happy about, sorry about the poor picture but it always seems to be dark, when I've got time for stuff at the moment.
I also bought some seats, which I'll get a picture of tomorrow, I haven't even seen them in the light.

Also if anyone cares, the new o2 sensor seems to have stopped the EML coming on, touch wood.
