What does an Omega weigh after....
« 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. :)

 ::) Final weight depends on how much water you can persuade to stay within the seat foam and petrol tank! ;)

Petrol tank has a hole in it where the petrol was drained out. ;D...............seat foam might be an idea. ::)

When I weighed the CDX in all i'd removed were the seats, cats, rear calipers, bonnet, front bumper, air con condenser, rad, head lights and a couple of small bits and bobs but I put loads of old wish bones and disc's in there and it weighed 1320kg

True Phil.Im very careful these days about axle stands etc when working underneathe them.The idea of one falling off the stands or similar doesnt bear thinking about. ;)
