Sorry to go O/T here, but if I may...
Greg, is that single seater road-legal?

Hi Beardy!
its Lee Manning, from the old Corsa sport days!
WOW man! what a car!!!
Good luck finishing it. Amazing
Well done on this and everything else you have achieved!
Great story, attitude and work ethic!
You still in touch with Ian?
Great memories of going to TRAX with you one year and you tooling about making your car jump on the handbrake and weaving in and out of traffic cones! I saw my old Corsa last year totally out of the blue!!! was at a Snetterton race meeting and its now been converted to a race car!

Massive update here with loads of pics, from other threads on other sites.
Start by the ultimate lock up, forget your local pub. As said before my mate owns a lazar profile place so here the after hours lock in, help your self and make what you want
Lazar cutting machine
CNC Bender
Overveiw of the toyshop
So made up my fuel tank aswell as lazar cut aload of other bits i needed for parts i am making (see below)
Oil Catch tanks (still needed to weld on intake pipes)
Header tanks (1 x engine water 2 x chargecooler may need one more engine water depending on how i run the rad and system)
Some parts which have arrived, Kevlar arch liners, Quafie gearknob, Solid mounts and battery and carbon kit to make some items.
Window vent cut and ready to fit
Front and rear exhaust all finshed (needs welding and wastegates) only having a single tail pipe out the rear.
Made a 100% carbon strut brace and heater cover.
Also one night over using another mate’s work to CNC all my gear linkage setup (based around the VW motorsport shifter)
Loads of items off to the powder coaters (above water tanks etc) so will update when back and fitted in place.
Playing with some carbon, made a replacement removable slam panel.
Come out really well still some work to do on it to make 100% smooth but as my first go really pleased, going to make my door cards now.
Fitted up header tank and oil catch tank (you can not see on the bad photo) an placed carbon panel on there to see weather i like the look.
got the window vent all fitted up aswell (outer metal plate sent away to be powder coated)
had a go of making replacment carbon panels etc.
So here my slam panel all complete, fits perfect and looks stunning. I am really very pleased with it.
Had a little trip down memory lane today, my mrs had me throw out my car mag collection from when i was 12 up until today
I had to sort threw them all, keep a few i wanted for old times but throw the rest.
I came across which Really made me smile and answered alot of questions.
Here is where my fastination for Twin Engine Cars began June 1997 I would of been 16 when i bought this mag. What made me smile was look closely at the photo I wrote on the reg at 16 - adam's car hands off. hooked ever since :lol:
I cut out my slam panel and fitted up my carbon replacment which fits perfect.
really chuffed with how it has come out.
Also fitted the Fuel cap in the rear window, just waiting on a few bits so i can install the tank and filler neck
Started making the bottom pulleys tonight, making bottem pulleys and alternator pulleys.
I bought 2 as a sample, reason for making it i am running a OPC steel crank which has a differant bolt fitment than standard XE/LET.
My Weapon this evening was a Harrison M250 nice "school" Lathe.
Finished the Bottom Pulleys and made the Alternator Pulleys.
Just need to cut the V section into the Alt ones.
Going to think about doing a group buy and making a few sets.
Cheers

Update - 21/03/2012
been doing some small bits over the past few weeks, finishing off half gone jobs.
Main update is the gear linkage been working on that, and looks like its going to work perfectly.
Just waiting on some lazar cutting bits to mount on a turret.
Also News car will be at PVShow on Total Vauxhall stand, so people can come and have a look and a chat.
