the v6

Post by kirsty »

well we swapped the green vectra we had for this when our friend couldnt fix what was wrong with it and since kevin is just fantastic at fixing these it was a no brainer it started off as a 1.8 gls and kevin got a wee bitty bored with the no power so we had a v6 sitting that came with the car aswell so he dropped it in

As long as you are still using it that's all that matters.

Nice to see she is still out and being used....

Got any pics of the Omega Leather in it?? Suprised it fitted as thought the Omega seats too big for a Cav?
Free Parking is a bonus, leaving my Cav in a carbon dust filled carpark is not.....
