Title: Let The Project Begin.
Post by: Anthony in Madrid on 14 August 2011, 21:29:04
Hi Everyone :y
Have a look...
(http://i1231.photobucket.com/albums/ee508/aschneider2010/ForumResizeOO1-1.jpg)

Finally!.....After dealing with Liars, dodgy gypsys and idiots... I found her. The car for my project "Revalation". Allow me to introduce my new Omega. I just bought her today. She is a 96' 2.5 V6 CD Petrol manual 170,000 kms on the clock, one owner. They bought the car from the showroom, (I even saw the receipt) Left standing for the last 4 months. She is a little dusty but inside she is immaculate! I drove her (after we needed to get the jump leads out  ;)) for about 15 mins on the motorway and round her nieghbourhood and as we all know what a looked after Omega does ...She drove like a dream, smooth as silk! :y I took a mechanic buddy with me and he said the cars is in excellent condition. Paid 1500 Pounds.
I`ll list all the recents and put more photos up very soon. But in the meantime...Where to start? Body kit? Window Tints? Wheels? Hmmmmmmm Too many choices. Your ideas will be welcome.

Best regards
Anthony

Hi Grijander
Thanks...Si es muy "Chulo"!!!
Cambelt change was the end of 2009. I saw the "factura" yesterday but cant remember exactly the kms. I will go to the Gestors to make the Transferencia next week. The car has had many things changed over the last two years and runs like a dream.

Thanks
What does the DIS coil pack do? I guess it's function helps fire the engine right? And is there a benefit to change/upgrade it?
Lol jeez I got so much to learn!!! :-/

Standox is the paint brand.. Platinum is the model for laquer..

and its scratch resistent..


DIS increases the battery voltage to very high levels so the sparks can ignite the fuel.. and it can give you a shock if you hold the cables..

hi guys.

nice car mate; any more pics?

Hi Webby
Thanks for the comment. Respect your point of view too but we (me and my mechanic mate) spent almost one hour checking this car. We went over the engine, the suspension, the cambelt, pipes, leads, aircon, fans, electrics and exhaust system and he checked another boatload of staff top. The "young lady" has had a service every year prior to it's MOT. New brakes (pads, discs,) water pump, cambelt and battery. Oil/air filters and the other mainstream stuff all done in May. The inside of the car has not one defect, scratch or break. It drives like a smooth dream and the accleration is amazing. It has one owner from new and there is not one dent in the body. After a T Cut session this young girl will look beautiful for sure and I'll post some more pics soon I promise. Also she has 5 brand new tires all Mitcheys! The tires dont have 20 KMS on them yet. It's rare to find a second hand car here in Spain in such good nick with all papers and receipts and maintenance in order like this. So I paid 1500 it's true but I wont have to pay out much more for a long while I guess. Also it's a project car too. I'm really pleased with it.
Best regards buddy :y
