Title: Omegaless
Post by: MartinP on 10 March 2008, 22:51:39
I am now officially Miggyless.

Piled all the bits in the back, along with 3 computer carcases, a set of knackered 15" alloys and a load of junk from the stripped saloon and had it coolected.

£70 to put towards my engine hoist.

I still have;

AR35 box
1 pr heavy duty rear coils
rear shocks
twin electrics towbar
all the LPG installation
2 starter motors
2 aircon compressors
2 alternators
1 adjustable steering column + cowl
1 set of camcovers
complete centre console, with ducting & box
and a rack full of valves, switches and pipework

 ;)

Bits now in "for sale"

Know how you feel mate, mines gone and I am in a Rover 620 TD at the moment, just waiting for the right Omega at the right price to come along. Will have to be a tractor or an LPG though, a tall order for my meagre funds.

No thermostat transfer pipe or housing?   ;D
That's going to be a tasty little project, Martin.
What brand of paint did you use? Are some better than others? Going to do mine shortly.
Did Mandy pick the colour?  8-)

This is my 5 mtr x 7 mtr second home  ::)

Built it to put the car in and still be able to walk around it (with the doors open  ;) )

The plan is to move everything into the middle when it's dry, then paint  the other bits.

Mandy is indignant!  :-?


The paint is an industrial tin of floor paint that was going in the bin at work, so I "liberated it"  ;)

i know I need another tin to finish the whole floor off.

The original coat was dark green @ £15 /5 litres from a builders mechant
