Title: Some of my Previous Cars/Proejcts - mostly Omega's
Post by: JamesV6CDX on 30 December 2007, 16:02:29
Also - here are some pictures of my cars I've had over the last year.

My Vectra LPG - bought from Taxi driver, with over 210k on the clock!

Bought cheap with a misfire, and found a hole in a valve.

My Omega Estate 3.0 MANUAL

I had LOTS of fun in this car! Bought it for £250 with an oil leak, and repaired it. It was mint, and went like s***e of a shovel!

My 2.0 GLS, I was going to LPG this car, but it was gutless, so didn't bother. I added leather interior following an eBay bargain, and it was very tidy.

My 3.0 Elite Auto, bought for £150, took the heads off and did top end rebuild. Resolved gearbox fault, largely thanks to Mark's diagnosis. Changed the box following discovery of a thrust washer in the intermediate gearbox sump! Cracking car after this though, had loads of RWD fun in it with the TC off!!

Yep, kept me occupied for most of 2007 ;D

The V6 top end rebuild on the green one was the most rewarding - especially when it fired up first time  8-)

Some nice pictures, and a few Omegas saved from the crusher :y

I take it from the bottles of Bulmers scattered around the pictures that Markie had a hand in a few of those projects?
