Very good mate. But why are you putting it back in, thought it was to be as stripped as possible?

Sorry about the lack of updates, circumstances have ment not a lot of photo worthy progress has been made of late. The weather has been aweful, we spent 1 day down whilton mill so I cound finally ride my pitbike and Beanie managed a 19 day run of solid working to pay for the project.
But we have made some slight progress, we've wired the battery cut-off switch into the old dash as neatly as possible (all 6 wires!), also I've been extending to feeds to accommodate the battery relocation, but I don't have any pictures (sorry)
But we've also decided to try and get the rear arches repaired (because they are aweful) while waiting for the pesky fibreglass doors to arrive so we've started to strip the car to a bare shell, but owing to a lack of time and space we've only got so far.
As I said not a lot achieved of late but give us a couple of weeeks or so and we should have some really post worthy progress.
Thanks you everyone for your support we'll keep you all posted

Cant wait to see this car finished at fcs 2011
It does feel like that sometimes but the way we've done it is if we do all the work before paint it should just bolt together without much cutting or changing in a few weeks (famous last words) once its white. Hopfully not long now

Really liking this project. Where's it going for paint?
It'll be very worthwhile doing the arches now, much much cheaper in the long run.
And hey progress is progress!

Cheers fella's your support is always welcome around here!
Danny, the bodyshell once everything is back out of it again is going to the local vauxhall dealership bodyshop where I work but unfortunately it'll still have to go through the books so i've put a few hundred to one side for that.
Point 8 The garage we've got is indeed from the council and it costs a pitance something like £5.70 per week but we're trying to restrict how much we do down there as we don't want to annoy the people who live in the flats it's behind.
Cheers for looking

Had a delivery of fluffy components which we think look pretty damn good. Many thanks to Suffolk flocking services for a top job for the price and in the time quoted.
Then back onto the meat and potatoes of the project! Started stripping more off it for its trip to paint.
Got the engine out and the servo off, not too much left to strip so hopfully the next post should be of it going off to the body shop.
As always cheers for looking, not long now hopfully

I can't begin to tell you how much i love that sunny, it was a present from my dad when i sold the corsa to pay for this project and i was struggling to get around more than i thought i would. Between this project and Moo's pitbike racing we've put that car through hell and it's never batted an eyelid.
Top motor!!! LOL
