Hi Appy, welcome to OOF, The Right Wheel Drive Forum, Just maybe you'll convert.

I have just sold a 3.0 to a guy for his Vectra, AND it is a worth while swap. just wrong wheel drive.

Hi there. that's a nice Vectra. I like the white wheels better personally. I'd keep them that way.

I like all the yellow under the bonnet too. Altogether a very nice car.

Into the eyes, not around the eyes, into the eyes. Get an Omega!

Always wanted a ST :)


Got to say the idea of a white MV6 face lift with the ST badges always works for me :)

Dumped it's oil 'coz it's in the wrong way round!!! Sorry, lovely clean car & i prefer the wheels in black. White car & wheels is a little too much for me.
   Welcome aboard. :y

Hello Lee,

Nice to see another VVOC'er on here! (im IanD233 on there btw!)

So your going to join the 3.0L gang then! hehe!  :y

Any questions, 'fire' away  ;D

you know instead of getting a 3.0 from an Omega and putting that in a veccy you could always keep the engine were it was....

Power is sent to the right wheels on the Omega  ;)
