Its expensive and not worth it, most of the time you won't be able to do it. Just go buy an MINI

Actually the Saturn Astra is the Astra, (Vauxhall, Saturn, Holden and Opel all use the same underpinnings just slightly different cars).
I've also had a ton of MINIs, I absolutely adore them and hope to work for MINI when I get settled here. I've just been lusting after a 205 for ages and never sorted it out, I will look further into getting an '88 in the new year.
