if your handy with your spanners and you source all the bits you need first you could have it in and running in less then a weekend ,

Or if you're me, a month lol

There's a thread in technical which links to a guide on fitting the XE.

i know of a fresh build corsa red top, gut spent about ?4k doing it. he wants ?2300
its running about 160bhp with the p&p head and satinless system and has -60 adjusties , think they are Koni's?
also has the same drive shafts that issac hunt has on his nova, so they'r strong
