yes stavs.
how anyone can charge £3k for a conversion baffles me, unless it has a fully rebuilt engine. after all:
old c20let: £800
f20 box: £50
fitting kit: £350
8 hours labour to remove and refit: £360
bits and bobs such as pipes/bolts: £50 max
how the fcuk do they come up with £3000???

We're still talking about what you get (or should get) for £3000. We're also talking about how much it could've cost you
I don't see how any of this is off topic?
Unless you only want the conversation about how bad ACE Vauxhall are to continue? If so we all don't have any evidence to give, so can only speculate. Which basically means people will start talking bollocks

Ace Vauxhalls bite my face, your customer service is shocking & your LET conversions are a fucking disgrace

ACE have always been expensive and generally cowboy-ish in my experience

beardy at the time could not find an engine , given dues he tried his best , but in all when she comes back from lagonda with new turbo and evverything i have been promised she should be running 220bhp , not bad really , and i know now she will be worth the money when i sell her in about 6 weeks
ace vauxhall are now being inspected by trade and standards so im not arsed already have civil claim lined up for the sum of £4657 including travelling , solicitor and lost earnings , so either way i get my money back
