My original Project was going to be putting a 3.0 Omega engine into an Escort Cabriolet. We thought making it rear wheel drive could have been rather a big task so decided to keep it front wheel drive.
So a donor V6 Vectra was found for the gearbox etc...
After much consideration We decided I could find myself with a branch in my eye on the first corner ;D
I collected last night my new Project from Josh Wyatt, who I might add is a lovely Genuine Guy, you can't say that about many Car Traders can you! If you see a car you like that Josh is selling, I don't think you will go far wrong plus he will certainly look after you. :y
I will be taking pictures as I go :y

I know what it is....nah, nah, na, nah, na

that facelift Josh had is a nice basis, looked almost mint inside!
I am going to vote V8 using GM docs we already have with either the 5.7 or 6.0....
Its the only possible engine upgrade from 3.2 V6
