Cool. Got an injection tank kicking around but the inside of the filler neck has gone a bit rusty so just need to clean that out and it should be ok, just trying to simplify everything so there are no surprises.

Please post those, Iīm going to get my car welded in the next weeks, it is a good option to do the welding for future engine swaps.
Hope you donīt mind taking advantage of your thread mr_long  |

Stitch welding transforms the car. You can see the bulkhead flex when moving the steering on standard astras.

Should I do this to Gilfy even though he is staying 18E?

Thatīs my exact same doubt. Even tought doing it in the process of restauration is allways a good ideia incase you might change your mind in the future enginewise. |
