Title: What does an Omega weigh after....
Post by: albitz on 26 October 2011, 18:33:23: ...the engine,box,diff,front seats,doorcards,rear shelf,wheels and other smallish parts removed ? :-\ ;D
When I spoke to the man at the scrappy today,I said imo it will still weigh over a ton. He said "no chance".
Will find out tomorrow (assuming the weighbridge isnt rigged) who is right.My thinking is that if it weighs 1600+ kgs when roadworthy, the parts Ive removed shouldnt weigh more than 500kg in total.
Opinions please,just for a laugh.I will report my findings tomorrow. :)
