Thats not the old engine, thats a freshly rebuilt one.
The astra needed restoring badly as signs of rust came through, so i took her off the road to get the job done

Ok, i like a fiddle with motors. But seriously, there was no way i could carry on driving it. It was shabby looking.
The engine was good as brand new! That hurt me to have to break it. But hey, its been treated to a rebuild but this time, with a turbo

Yes, but i want the car on the road ASAP, the omega is pissing me off

Besides, i think there's an issue with steering rack clearance, so am leaving it till the summer
But rest assured it will be done one way or another
