Hi all, just registered and thought I'd start posting. Nice to see a different forum then MIG :nod:

I'm in the process of converting my Opel Kadett 200is from the standard 2L 8v into a 2.5 V6 machine (poor old Cav giving up its guts :lol: )

The car itself is a South African import from '93 with 84k on the clock, still with km clocks fitted.

It's unique in that its a 5-door GSi which was never made in the EU. Fully GSi kitted from standard.

Full black interior, no sunroof and aircon.

Am in the process of collecting the last few bits to drop the V6 in it.

Aiming to do the swap in Feb as car is at me old folks place in France :sad:

Here see is as bought of the mighty Ebay again :eek:
