Well, the update so far !

ENGINES RUNNING, and its as sweet as a nut ! feels a lot better engine,more torque etc, it is now a 20XE, instead of the C20XE that was in before

Mot this week-sometime! will fly through it no probs! then road tax, then its going to the bodyshop week after to get re0sprayed,after it got keyed,hopefully get the speedlines prepped ready to get sprayed along with the morretes and power cap

I LOVE MY CAR ONCE AGAIN !!!

UPDATE!!!

eventually got pics on here of the corsa!mate uploaded the ones he took tonight and emailed them.

so heres a few pics of the current state of the corsa, i ve still to finish tidying wiing etc in the engine bay so it was back to its usual standards,but its running etc and in for its re-test on the mot after failing last week!

enjoy

PS- i kno my cars not looking as mint as usual,you ll notice no shiney speedlines,these ones are gettin painted and once everything is finished like the black morrettes,smoked side repeaters etc it will all tie in

Its lookin shite jus now

its still clean,but the back lights stand out etc, note - NOT MHW !! i think the ultra smoked ones are better (imo)
once its finished wilson,will be better

i ve got better,pics on my phone of when the engine was out and cleaning/paintin the engine bay,and replacing all the parts on the engine,once i get the wrirng tidied,and powercap/rocker cover/cambelt cover/wheel/morrettes all painted a anthracite(and fit my smoked side repeaters), get V sport 90mm springs,and fit my chromed Opel plug cover (to go with the cage) going into the body shop in 3weeks,the boys flat out just now

Opinions welcome.

Chris-

@ poor mans MHW,i just dont like them cause you see red on them if u kno what i mean, but the bulbs have to be painted on these ones

yes the engine is running sweet as fuk

its a 20XE

not a C20XE,dont kno the difference,but its an early Xe i kno that! soon found that out when i orderd the late timing belt kit and it didn fit

Ben- the Opel badge is from Vauxhall

yes the lights look they have been sprayed in that pic

think its cause it was gettin dark?

Phil- the shiney `lines got sold to Dave_GSi off here,he stays in not far from me,but he sold them on agen, they were really nice wheels,but if i kept them i would have wanted them re-furbed,then i recon it would be a cunt to polish them agen? going for the clean/slag look now, instead of jus clean

thanks for the good comments
