indeed if it was that snowy should have been going a lot slower!
Not a lot in that for breaking, its a write off too. Can't see that going for much more than scrap :-\
-
Whoops - nearly managed all panels :(

Nonsense. Tis but a scratch.
Mentions something about tyres recently fitted ;D

Also low mileage engine,but as for the rest of the car 'repair' that's pushing optimism to its limit ::)
-
Long MOT is a plus :y
-
I didnt think it was that bad until i see the back and side you done a good job there mate poor omega :-(
-

I've got a mate who manages a local scrapyard and he often buys "write offs", many a lot worse than this Omega (seen one with front wheel on drivers seat, and a Cooper S Turbo with the back section crushed to about 6"), which he repairs properly, puts them through VIC testing and subsequent MOT testing, and uses them himself for about 6 months before selling on. Seems a very profitable operation (scrapyard connections help), but takes a lot of work, effort and skill.
As EMD hints this Omega could easily be repaired properly, although at a cost that is going to be prohibitive. Newer, more valuable written off cars can often be fully repaired cost effectively.

£200 for a car with NO straight panels and probably floor all bent out of shape ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
I had to laugh at the sellers statment
Fairly clean car ???
XENON HEADLAMPS????? WHAT HEAD LAMPS ::)
-
also inspection welcome with mechanic ;D ;D ;D
not sure about the slight scratch on it I'll give it a miss ;D
-
Well scrap around here is only £150-170 , cant see that going for £200 in that condition and its not top spec either ::) BUT you never know ;D
-
To be fair, a tub of Isopon, bottle of T-Cut and some elbow grease and it'll be as good as new ;) :D ::)

Have repaired similar amounts of damage on mine, although not both ends at once ::)
If it were free, and I had the space and inclination I would consider it as a project :-\ The rear screen is intact, which is a good sign, the rest is just panel replacement :y

Worked really well on the Mother in Law's Octavia 4x4 right down to about 2mm and a Passatt 4motion that was in the family. ISTR TB liked them on the Rover (RIP) too. They just don't seem to suit big RWD motors ::)
