Ebay bargain!
« on: 12 July 2006, 23:24:18 »
Last week I bought a V6 engine off ebay - 77k on it a couple of bent valves due to belt failure.
It was out of a vectra and the guy put a 3.0 in out of an Omega - so far we have removed the pistons which are spot on including the bores and the shells - even the paint on the block is in good order.
best of all - he was only a couple of miles down the road from me-

So what did I pay.......................................................... there was 2 bidders.........................................................................


£1.20 plus he gave me the omega bits off the engine plenum, sump support and the odd sensor - I felt a bit guilty so i gave him an extra £10  ;D
