Cheers Walker!!
Got it sorted, engine should be here next week :-)

Why not drive and pick up engine the same time you collect the wheels??

Colour change, hmm interesting! The colour, gte kit and wheels were what did it for me. Looking forward to seeing the finnished result!!
ps with all these cars what do you work as?

I do like the colour, but it's not really as nice as it could be. I just fancied a change.
I'm an area manager for the largest independent insurance broker in NI. Before that I managed a branch. Worked my way up from a trainee advisor in 2005.
My girlfriend is a software tester, that's her GSI Astra. (she loves her motors too!! Lol)
Good news today, engine is collected and should be here Wednesday! Woohoo :-)

Ah didn't know you were doing this, give me a shout and I'll bring the engine hoist out when you need it!!

Think we should fit your XE first Cormac!

Engine arrived yesterday. Thankfully it has everything, including coil, ECU, dizzy etc.
It looks well cared for, but they are 20 years old+ now, so will do some tests before I decide what to do. I hope it's good enough to not need rebuilt!
Ordered the mounts today so won't be long till I get it trial fitted.
Keith
