....
Hmmm just need a good press ;)

plus various spacers etc to support the fab'd wishbones otherwise they'll bend too much. I made a set years ago when I replaced the bushes in my Senator's wishbones ..... but didn't keep them.  :( & Heinz has SFA in the way of materials to make anything big enough.  :-?  :-?  :-?

I have both, the floorpan is identical, but the bits that hang off it are longer for the Holden.

Well thats what ive noticed. the middle of both cars are identical but everything else is completely different. look at this for comparison: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201031364808194/sort/priceasc/usedcars/maximum-age/over_10_years_old/maximum-mileage/up_to_80000_miles/model/omega/make/vauxhall/page/1/radius/1501/postcode/sk105qw?logcode=p

Do you think they have the same engine?

Would be nice if subframe and wishbones fitted... Must be more substantial than gay omega bushes surely.

if the sub frame bolts straight on then it might make for a pretty straight forward mechanical upgrade. with its relaxed 6 spd box,i doubt that a 5.7/6.0 mig would be too thirsty, no cambelt either... 8-) might upset my insurance :'( and the rear tyres :D
think it might be a bit more realistic to get a set of gm arms and try and find a decent subframe to put them on to. :-/
