Vauxhall omega 2.5 V6

Hi all.

I was offered a a 2.5 Omega for beer money.
The car is a great runner, bad bits are a bit of panel rust.

Are there any ready made kits for this donnor? (even if not 7 type)
Would it be usable for a +442 with minor modifications to engine bay / suspension?

Thanks in advance,
Joao

Believe it will be fine for a Haynes Roadster. Is it a manual or Automatic?

It's a manual.
I was thinking more in line of a kit rather than full construction, as I don't really trust my creditials as a fabricator

Both sevens I made were MNR kits, and now I was actually looking for something different... or not

Regards,
Joao

My mate had an ex police 3.0 manual, very fast, very sideways and very funny when people pull out of your way as you’re are doing ***mph on the motorway because they think you’re the police!

Buy it and get an ex police LSD for it

Life is like a bowl of fruit, funny how all the weird looking ones are left alone
