1. do i strip off the good parts and scrap the rest OR
2. put a v6 in it

what would you do/ i have been offerd a full engine, gearbox, rad, running gear and sub frame........

but i havent got a clue where to start, so how much am i looking at to ge this lot fitted if i do? and is it gonna be worth it in the end?

Strip it and get a V6 if that's what you want m8, the amount of work doing an engine transplant from different engine-spec vehicles is a lot more than converting a 2.5 to a 3.0, especially on the driveway.

I'd also give neil a pm, he's very handy at this sort of thing! :thumbs_up:

Personally I'd rather buy a V6 than go through the hassle of having a new engine fitted.

transplants are pointless these days as the cars are so cheap to buy, my mate just got a tidy x reg gsi for 800.
