Opel body is quite rigid as compared with the japanese ones that's why i loved it. it is a manual tranny ride. well my main concern is not the price of the parts but availability and competitive mechanics doing the service. last time i've spent almost 40K for supposed-to-be clutch disc replacement because i end up buying a lot of unnecessary parts to change because the "good" mechanic destroyed those other parts in the process.

bro niky is correct, opels and daewoos were using same engine and some models uses same harness wiring too.

If you know a reputable shop doing engine change for this type of car, kindly inform me: nobaj357*gmail.com i'll be home this month and seriously considering to go ahead with this project. thanks a million to all....
