Pretty much there in the fitting of the Corsa C EPAS. It has taken a lot of trial and error to get to this point. I have taken lots of pics for a fitting guide that will be made available via the 106 Rallye Register members' section. It is now a case of reinforcing the... Continue Reading →
Photo of the finished box in the scuttle for the wiper motor. Spent a bit of time cleaning up some of the recent welds. Here is the blanking plate over where the heater motor air inlet was. Next job is to modify the steering column support so that I can get the welding in this... Continue Reading →

Stewart at Baker BM sent out the uprated engine mount bumpers that have just become available... Also added a rather useful tool to my last order from ProBolt...
