Are nexia's not just as bad for rust, if not worse?

Probably, but excellent idea. I take it you can fit all the dash etc from a Mk2?

As nic said, dash is the same

Good idea considering you can still get nexia's in some countries

It is a mk2 astra shell, just different body panels

Pow, a mk3 astra on an L reg isnt rare

I remember reading about someone that put an XE into a nexia years ago in total vauxhall, aparently its a right pain in the arse, you would think it was pretty straight forward.

It's a lovely looking car, but the wheels are a major disappointment.
