only been doing a few bits at the mo, have decided not to keep the power steering as i dont wana be buying another alternator ect and i prefer not to have it anyway, so have started to take that out not sure what to do with the rack tho just fill the holes up where the pipes were maybe.

picked up some goodies from avit (nice bloke) in derby earlier this week, an f20 box, one morette piller pod and a astra digi dash,



engine still not in as i need a f20 clutch and the rubber mount for the drivers side engine mount

the engines not always in the air there is a skate in the engine bay that it sits on when im not doing stuff to it.

the wheels.. well i wouldnt mind them but i prefer my 15'' mo's
they are really nice wheels but dont really have the money to waste on more wheels

nah the only reason they are heavy is because your fighting against the fluid in the rack, but if i get all the fluid out it should be ok,
ive been toed in it while the engine wasn't in and it seemed ok
