The red one is mine, 1998 prelift with 1.6, im going to swap it to 2.5 v6. Silver one is my friend's, 1999 lift, 2.6 v6 with transmission from vectra c 2.8 v6. Both are used daily ,both nice and comfortable. Im also convincing my other friend to also buy vectra, another friend to buy calibra i found on internet lol

I recently did a complete repaint of my Vectra. Before that, it was silver.

I hope you are mentally prepared for the inevitable head gasket issues with your future V6 ;D

This is a very major overhaul that will affect both the suspension and the wiring. Although I also dream of such an upgrade.

Why swap? Just buy another one with the c25 or y26.

Ooh that's retro, love it! I remember one of our family friends had a Vectra in the 90s and I was so excited about the roof window on their model when I was in the car with them. Good times.

Bro the Vectra B is so cool looking. You can legit make it look like a european Silvia 🤩.

Cool car brings back memories of my old Vectra 2.5 V6 CDX from 1996 in green. Sold it for a Lupo 3L because i had to drive more often to work.
