Picked this up tonight
A boy who worked up at our local vauxhall dealer with my uncle started building this a couple of year ago,he fully stripped then rebuilt the engine and also had the car resprayed in VXR power red,he lost interest and sold it to his mate,he got it running and driving but also lost interest so i snapped it up,i think it deserves to be finished and shown the road
Quick spec
Fully rebuilt C20LET with F20 gearbox with brand new Quaiffe ATB
Steel rods (cant remember what kind will check reciepts)
ARP head and rod bolts
Heavy duty bearings/shells etc
Fully rebuilt GM head
VXR injectors
Steel headgasket
Lightened and balanced flywheel etc
New clutch
Walbro 255 in tank pump
Front mount intercooler kit with hard pipes
288mm V6 front brakes
Thats it i think
Plan is to tidy the conversion up,run it in then get it mapped etc
Comments welcome

Tidy the conversion and get it on par with my old XE bay or better and chase they horses haha
Tidy the car in general,got my spoiler off my old XE too so thats getting painted and fitted
Going to fit my sport clocks with Stack rev counter later today
Theres a set of cav slabs with the car so going to get them painted and try them on it or maybe another wheel and maybe give speedlines a rest but no doubt il end up with a set on it
They wheels on it the now are just to keep it rolling
Big big plans for it though its a great base where someone else has pumped thousands into it instead of me for a change so got a bit of a head start
