I've seen this before it comes up if you search for v6 astra mk1 in google.
Wouldn't be me with the neons but each to their own.

Sorry mate i'm must conceed defeat, i was asking around trying to find anyone who had done this converstion but all i could get was "nope it's not really possible," and "it's too much work, just stick the c20let in."

one guy i spoke to said he knew of 3 mk1's with v6's but they wern't on the road for whatever reason.

I've seen the light as well...... have taken off the blue neons, they were free and i liked the look of them at the time.
