Just wondered how much it would cost to have a XE conversion on a corsa.
Price for everything,
Engine, Fitting kit, Suspension(half decent), brakes(best recommended) etc.
Thinking of doing this but want to know a rough price of to how much its gonna cost. So if anyones bored and fancies helping out, feel free.

You can just use std shafts and not service the engine etc but 6mths down the line you will be replacing things!!!

I brought my engine for £50, rebuilding it myself, about £200 for parts, fitting it myself, so no £ for labour.......around £500 for the conversion kit.

Mine's got an electric speedo (97 Sport). Dan (J100RSA) worked his magic and connected it up with no hassle.

Mine cost about a grand in total, engine was the main contributer to this, but if you shop around you can source an engine much cheaper.
