Post by: Dan1005 on 08 February 2010, 20:02:08: What a deal!!! :D, you're getting a custom paint job there, and exceptional interior. Not the new battery positioning in front of the pedals, I hear they are doing that in F1 this year for distribution of weight ;)

Love the description of the car especially "this car is going to be sold to the highest bidder"
Im not a rocket scientist, but isnt that the point of ebay?? :-?

It would make a nice car if it was done right or returned back to original :)

Presumably he's buggered the eBay ad up too. It's clearly a dual ram 2.6 :y

Post by: Essex Pete on 09 February 2010, 19:46:25: If you read it (admitadly quite difficult) it does actually say it was a 2.0 but has been fitted with the full 2.6 running gear ::)

If i had the space i would actually consider that. Bit of body work, respray and a decent engine it would be a very unique car that would piss over a lot of other cars on the road.

Unfortunately i dont like the idea of buying someone elses unfinished project, ive made that mistake before...

Post by: Squealey on 10 February 2010, 21:05:16: Sorry to disagree with 80% of comments so far, but looking beyond what looks like a terrible job, quality wise, so far, I think this would look the mutts nuts all finished and painted in L/C green.

I'll get me coat ;D ;D

Post by: VXL V6 on 10 February 2010, 22:16:07: If the bodykit (and spare bumper etc) are original, which is highly unlikely and those are LO seats (they do look like them) it could be useful for spares.

Bodykit is a PSG (or similar) copy kit - no front rubber lip and rear arches not flared enough.
Seats are Diamond seats - very much like the Elsie seats (GSi seats in leather)

Post by: dbug on 11 February 2010, 22:31:11: It looks krap at the moment, but with a decent finish to the bodywork could be a nice, fast and unique motor. Just needs the right buyer to finish :y

Couldn't agree more - it could be a more interesting Diamond!! Are some people saying don't modify Omegas with prodrive of irmy bits - is the RATS V8 conversion wrong? I think not.
