I have seen a V6 in a Corsa at Billing a few years back. I didn't take that much notice at the time as my car had a straight 6 in it at the time.  ;)  ;)  :y

Have just read the advert... "Needs 2 front tyres"...not surprised!  How long would they last?  200 miles?

Not done properly, R28 is much better than an Fwhatever, then the rear axle hasn't been replaced with anything suitable.

It has been before seen one with 2.0 and Escort rear axle

most of these 3.0 Conversions have lost lots of ponies from using a manifold designed for a 2.5 Cavalier!

also why do people change the cam covers for Vectra V6 thus creating a worn clutch further down the line when the rear crank seal goes
