Vauxhall omega 2.5 V6
JoaoCaldeira - 11/1/10 at 06:24 PM

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?

yep ideal for a haynes roadster.

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

is it a manual gearbox? if so bolt it to a saab 2.3 turbo engine.

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
