MY V6 RWD CORSA GETS A NEW ENGINE!

[@Wheretheresmuck]

It makes me sad that so many max power/fast car builds were built before youtube 😢 thank God you're here 🙏

[@goodfella3063]

Makes me sad too….the kids these day have no clue the extent we would go too to create a masterpiece 😂 I love this channel ❤❤❤

[@EZ-D-FIANT]

Yea I've been building 30 years I still don't bother with you tube but wish I had more videos of old projects I've done some crazy crazy things....

[@pauldupre2269]

Yes. Fair comment 👍

[@lukedorney435]

Found this page through Instagram reels when you first pulled this out of its resting place. I'm not a Vauxhall/Opel fan in any way but I absolutely love seeing the engineering and fabrication work going into this project. A proper car build and absolutely the definition of built not bought!

[@TwinEngineCorsa]

Thank you for watching and the kind words. You don’t have to love vauxhalls, true petrolheads appreciate every build. An we do definitely build them rather an buy them 🤣

[@johnchadbone]

Your a clever man, ill tell you that!! Fair play, cant wait to see the progress on this one

[@PRPhotographyuk]

Great work! The project binky reference make me giggle! 'Make the noise!'

[@evelghostrider]

I've built custom cars and bikes over 45 years, hats of brother this is proper old skool car building, work with what you have and your skill strengths. Who ever says cut and shut shows they are utterly clueless as to what they are or were... All cars can be considered as cut an shut as they are multiple pieces of metal welded or stuck together... It's all about the strength and you have over engineered your floor pan brother. There will be no issues at all with it. I'm happy I retired from building thankfully.

[@TwinEngineCorsa]

Thank you for your kind words. I love the old skool way of building, learning old techniques etc behind the press is an English wheel, that’s next. Thank you again for taking the time to reply means alot from a fellow builder who knows 🙏

[@GaryJonrd]

Ant it possible to make the omega engine in to a lotuscarlton engine​@@TwinEngineCorsa

[@GaryJonrd]

I have the turbo s and ex for a lotuscarlton don't no if they are any good anymore tho

[@Nothing-to-noone]

​@@GaryJonrd Carlton is inline 6 not V6, Carlton based on C30SE inline 6, stroked and I think bored to 3.6.

[@evelghostrider]

I know first hand the difficulties involved in such builds... especially with people of limited skill or knowledge saying you cant do this or that... or put a guard on your grinder.... Im glad i retired to be honest bud, these younger kids know little but tell you how todo it all... Within seconds i could tell you know what your at and have great skill an experience in your trade. You build them as it should be done. Id have hired you in a second and put you own the major high paying work i did. I gave my top guys a huge cut of total payment for jobs and made them semi self employed so the faster and better they did the work the more they earned. Id twoguys earning over 100k a year and worked 4 days a week. I alwyas let they guys use the workshop for their own cars and projects aslong as my jobs got completed on time. And i painted them for free for them, just material costs. I look forward to the rest of build buddy. Regards Paul ​@TwinEngineCorsa

[@C19WKR]

Mate you are brilliant to watch, the way you explain as you go is spot on.

[@speny46]

Brilliance in its natural habitat… how many hours have you got into it mate?? Really interesting could watch you all day

[@davekennedy6315]

Man, I WISH I had your incredible engineering/car modifying/tuning/design/ideas and skills! I LOVE the fact that no car maker builds the cars you desire, so instead you literally just build them! You are awesome and so motivating, watching your ideas come to life and seeing how bloody quick these cars you create are is SO inspirational that you could well restart the days of the crazy Max Power builds!

[@tonyknight1272]

Brilliant work. Looking amazing. Keep up the good work. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@eddiemaxpower_escort]

I love this series keep up the good work 😎

[@chris425amp7]

Glad he's gone 3.0 instead of 3.2 and 2.5. An conversion into manual. The Ultra was a good car but they went V6. The I6 was cracking had a 3000 24v GSI Digital dashboard an Lotus Carlton never had the digital but had dashboard but it had all the good bits reinforced pistons an this rest. 3000 24v GSI I had a soft spot for in Sliver..

[@geoffmedhurst6912]

Great work really enjoying the project!!!

[@danpoxon2425]

That old omega shell as gotta be worth something now pretty rare thing to see about now days could make a good drift car for someone

[@Tjetinside]

Nice work 👏 it's going to crazy when done

[@timeames1977]

Coming along nicely guys. I enjoy learning how a project like this works. 👍

[@daves5686]

Amazing build, first build I've ever followed, great video great work and progress 👌🏽

[@karlgt9989]

Loved every second of that, didnt ffwd once, love it, top work ❤

[@nialbarnsley4108]

We also used to put the 2.0 4 cylinder flywheels onto the v6. When using if memory serves me right f16 gearbox. HELL did the v6 rev response improve. It rev so quick almost like it didn't have a flywheel

[@chrismirams9272]

The flat redtop flywheel is the one to use 👍🏻

[@nialbarnsley4108]

@chrismirams9272 probably, we did a swap on a mk1 open kaddet 1.8 with 5 speed box, put a 2.5 v6 and used the 1.8 flywheel & box, was great , especially clutch changes, it had the plate on the bell housing, which you could remove and do clutch without taking gearbox out, 😁those were the days

[@damiantaylor7993]

Coming along nicely I was making a RWD Calibra V6 and a 2.6 omega supplied it’s transmission tunnel, engine, and loom for it, the boot lid was chopped, because I strengthened the chassis to turn it into a convertible BMW e36 boot lid hinges were used so it would have a boot lid, so I know the amount of work that you are putting into that

[@macaulayholland3516]

This corsa is going to sou d brilliant. Cant wait to here her running. All in good time.

[@ljt71]

Some serious work goes into these videos. Hopefully will get to see this in the future along side the twin and your sons V6.

[@user-kc3fn1gu6g]

Complete strip down and rebuilt job.but you have amazing commitment and enthusiasm .Well done

[@robgoode8404]

You are truly one talented bloke mate the way you explain stuff on a “normal” way makes the build mega to watch! I’m a massive 90s vaux build fan and I love the fact you and your lad are doing these builds hats off to you! Longer content as I could watch hours upon end lol😂

[@aidansmith2565]

Class video, look forward to next !

[@gcfcos]

Got to say mate I’ve only just found your channel and I am impressed. Will be watching a lot more of your content. I’ve been a mechanic since 1997 and it’s my passion, I own a sapphire cosworth which I am always tinkering with and trying to improve etc and always get grief from the rs owners people etc! I’m impressed by your mechanic skills and fabrication!! Will enjoy watching more of your content

[@TwinEngineCorsa]

Appreciate the kind words mate thank you!

[@gabegabriel2155]

Loving this build. Love the focus on specific bits like wiring loom. Please increase frequency of vids.

[@clivefowler1932]

Bloody loving it! It's giving me inspiration to crack on with my mk2 escort

[@thesnapperwoodshop]

Corsa b was one of my first cars, great stuff

[@paulb4uk]

Build is coming along nicely ,some superb metal work and panel making >You are working fast the progress you have made in just ten weeks is amazing from near scrap to nearly completed project.

[@Lloydcarter88]

Looking forward to it getting finished 🚗💨

[@mafiagigi17]

Cool cool build, make it a drift car id be one of a kind

[@WauliePaulnuts246]

What a brilliant bloke you are. Massive fan. Can't wait till this Cormega is shreading rubber!! 😂

[@pauldrew5279]

Love this channel, full of retro goodness and a very skilled bloke building cool shit 👍

[@mk3escort84]

Love watching this channel. All the talk is follwed by an action. So many chanels are all talk and ideas and nothing happens. Keep it up mate

[@Key-j5o]

Could watch this all day. Great buid, great work 👍

[@alxgu198]

Really are crackin’ on with it mate, nice job 👍

[@BenDeSwert666]

Goddamn, this thing is gonna be bonkers!

[@siraff4461]

I love how that shell has the B-pillar cracks like every 3dr Corsa B thats ever been lowered. I was going to ask if the floor was triangulated too then I remembered its out of an Omega. 🤣

[@richardjones7036]

Wicked work pal , cant wait to see a donut 🍩

[@SMAC364]

The pressed part will pie dish i.e wrinkle around the edge because it is a compression flange meaning that the flat material is longer than the formed part. You would need to have a ‘draw ring’ i.e clamp a ring around the outer edge of the blank and the tension will cause the material to stretch and lose its memory of being flat. Look at draw form press tools, they can be simple spring loaded tools. It’s like how binky did the vents behind the bonnet. You got the result and that’s great but oems would draw form it.

[@gavingg4761]

The car scene saviour!🐐👑

[@leeevans4635]

Coming on great fairplay looking spot on..😊

[@baileybob27]

Can’t wait too see this finished it’s gonna go down in history

[@phillharding595]

I would like to see some more of your fab work in detail. Great work so far it makes me want to crack out the welder and start my e46

[@Nothing-to-noone]

Hi from South Africa!!! Man I hope that I can one day put one of these engines in an Opel Rekord E2. Love the channel sir.

[@jptwcummings7109]

Found you after you went to see my friends dad's friend Kym with the Twin engine VW Scirocco. A round the corner from me, thought you'd be possibly interested in my project car. 1983 Rover SD1 3500 Auto, which is what it was. Saved from the crusher after being used as a engine donor, my plan is to fit the engine out of my sadly written off Volvo 850 T5 estate. The 850 T5 had 350 Bhp before it was smacked from behind by a HGV. SD1 enthusiasts hate what I'm doing, but better resto modded than crushed. If interested I can email you details on the project.

[@SWLW436]

Enjoyed this video, great flow… fair play for the fab skills and look forward to seeing it in the flesh next year!

[@diydave3034]

Exhausted just watching you. Amazing. Thanks.

[@petervarrechia4459]

whit all that work you could make longer videos surely, I for one would definitely watch longer videos of you making this kind of stuff, I do like the way it's edited tells you what needs doing next thing it's done, keep up the good work can't wait to see it finished

[@stevessheduk6623]

Love the sound of a v6 on the chip! Great project and you definitely know your way around a welder and a ruler 😂

[@jameskearney7646]

Set of tsw venoms look class on her, great vid top work lad

[@ScottBlowers-jq1hy]

Great project! Really enjoying all your videos. Giving me the inspiration to push on with my rwd clio project. 👍🏻

[@scoobyAL]

Love your videos. Keep up the good work sir.

[@sleepeasywithwhitenoise3860]

Amazing Adam that’s how it’s done looking solid Can’t wait for next episode on this build series Keep up the good work Regards Adam

[@pauldupre2269]

Have you been following the Peden Conceptz Metro/Boxter 6R4 Build? Definitely something you need on this Channel when he's finished it, it's absolutely amazing, such attention to detail, just like yourself!

[@vwnay]

I do press forming daily at work and the method you ideally need to clamp/torque the outer of the material of the ring die and allow slippage for when it’s pressed and stretching the material with the inner form to allow a smooth transition forming the correct radius and side profile then trimming excess material for final part 👍

[@ps4mad832]

Love to see that Vectra work

[@ppppp1336]

Class mate! Love watching the progress of this beast. Daddy DK haha. Show the young un’s how it’s done 👍🏻

[@captainprice47]

I used to own that omega about 18 years ago remember the reg well got old pics somewhere 😎

[@AndrewMalley-y6h]

You are doing a fantastic job 👍 Just don’t do what I do and say I will have a break or get to tired and leave it a year 😂😂😂

[@nialbarnsley4108]

Great video . Makes me smile I did this sort of stuff with the Vauxhall v6 20 years ago.

[@TwinEngineCorsa]

I’m still doing it after 20 years 🤦🏻🤣

[@evelghostrider]

I've done it past 45 years and made a successful business from it. But I'm happy I've retired from it lol I could not take the amount of donuts who talk utter keek about build quality or parts or how you did stuff. People used to ask me why I told customers to f&£k off.... its cause they came to me for my craftsmanship they seen else where and I build how I see, not what they see... today's younger generation of car people live a virtual world as seen by videos. They lack real world experience. I used to have customers tell me how they wanted me to paint their vehicles. I'd just wheel it outside and say finish it yourself now...

[@nialbarnsley4108]

@evelghostrider that's funny. I the same . Motortrade straight from school. Own business from 23 , retired at 44. Dealing with all the idiots is a nightmare. And that's not just the customers but the suppliers are as bad. Never mind it was good enough £££ to retire. But he'll I nearly killed myself at points

[@nialbarnsley4108]

@TwinEngineCorsa 😁😁😁 where you get the omega. . There's literally non for sale anywhere

[@leighrigby8833]

Strangly I'm really into this build.. good effort adam

[@DavidLee-et2ss]

Proper flying 😊😊

[@MrHubert1234564]

Great work, awesome project :D

[@deanboucher2067]

Great video 😊

[@markeyre6916]

carnt wait to see it completed its going to be a animal,only other thing i would want is a full cage to stop anything twisting

[@davidhopkins848]

What a mechanic/engineer if I ever win the lottery, I'll be contacting you 😉 I can't wait to see this done this is the best channel for building cars from scratch in my opinion

[@trabusas.3782]

Thank you for the beautiful and clearly explained video. I have a question after you have cut away all unnecessary components. For example, the ABS cable and the pump. You already said this in your previous video, does the computer not scream error code error code, how do you solve this?

[@pone69]

Nice looking good!

[@theforexwolf9317]

Great video keep it going

[@martindunning364]

Wish i was half as talented as you buddy awesome work Love your Chanel

[@williamhay3125]

Love it... That's mental.. Your a legend pal.. What an engineer... I keep rewinding. Coz I miss stuff... I'm total vaux head. Omega 3.2 mv6 in garage.. And Cally turbo and a pilgrim sumo cobra rep... I watched you on insta you tube.. The one I think it was a starlet. Wee red fecker. Was flippin sick as.. Love your channel.. How do you do the 3.0 merged to 2.5 v6.. Omega floor pan....

[@williamhay3125]

Class channel guys. If you like engineering... Guys the ticket.. Accent a bit messed... I'm Scots living in Ireland.. Lo😂❤ love this. Such a channel 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💪💪💪💪🍀🍀🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

[@vauxhallvin]

I had a 2.6 V6 omega was decent like elite too, wanted the MV6 for lsd though lol

[@lukejenkins9341]

Brilliant work as always mate be a little bit fun this will when done

[@jasonweir1227]

Oh aye like the green Vectra gsi in the background. Btcc bogykit was it ?

[@user-kc3fn1gu6g]

I'd put a cage in the car to strengthen it myself . Will you cage it bud ?

[@tricksmoke]

How do you find them wiring diagram's on line? Are they Haynes ? Great vid👍

[@ashleyward2133]

Pure talent there matey

[@stephenyoung1506]

Good update beardy looking good

[@grahamricketts-bq1ft]

Insane skill level 👍

Looks like a Vectra GSI in the background at the end of the video. What are the plans for it?

[@donalcollins3847]

Great work thank you

[@carlcatlin8078]

I feel your pain on needing to see it making progress I'm at the same point with my turbo 2 build

[@shauncole9509]

Nice mate what's happening with the Vectra?

[@Dan23_7]

Every step is a step closer to the end goal 😁

[@tommart9578]

Next time you need to press ally sheet you need to heat it first. Draw lines all over it with cheap bar soap then heat it up with a blow torch till the soap goes brown then chuck it in water. Ready to then press t

[@countrywideboy]

heat the alloy up in the oven before you try the form it , its the same with copper and brass.

[@Firby1988]

Would love to rear engine RWD a Corsa B with the 3.0 omega V6 or the V6 turbo engine from the Vectra C VXR

[@philanderson7611]

I like this….. but did I miss what happened to the short body Audi project?

[@TwinEngineCorsa]

That’s next on this list. This is a quick build before it comes in.

[@R6AAO]

Please please please, for the love of all things unholy.. Twin engine corsa v12 turbo! It HAS to have crossed your mind and it's a great idea!

[@J4cko999]

Loving it, my wife moans about me watching KZbin car guys, she says they all sound monotonous, but said at least that guy sounds enthusiastic, believe me, thats a complement !

[@johngreensmith63]

[@ashleywilliams2561]

Why does saying " I'm the DK of this family " not sound as cool as its meant too or is it just me 😂 Another great video.

@russellbrooks1823 Drift King 👍

[@user-kc3fn1gu6g]

Everyone saying its a cut n shut ? If that's the case every floor pan swapped car and chopped hot rod is a cut n shut then ?

[@johngreensmith63]

Will it be able to go on the road?

[@gerteehan2353]

Just wondering if you can get an mot test on a modified car
