[chrisgixer]

I am Intrigued though. As we all are with the same question.

Say Rusty has gone. And there's no more omegas.


What to buy next...?

If there is one car I regret getting rid of it is "Vader".... if you can do without it Jammy bring it up here and I will fix itfor you I also know an excellent painter who could sort the body work issues

thats the best news.. there are many good mechanics , but good painters are rare as hens teeth..

My view is, you're very attached to it, as would I be if I had owned it for so long, however as you say it's over 15 years old and it has done over 210k. Is it uneconomical to fix? Of course not this is OOF best bunch on the Internet who could sort it out, however are you getting to a stage now where it's getting past the attachment? I would say you are because you've mentioned breaking it. At the end of the day it's your decision and only you know the best course of action .

take it off the road, strip it,rebuild it with new or almost perfect used parts, have it painted,ergo new car with known history,while doing this pick up a lowish mileage rover 25, for tootling around in!! problem sorted

Desperately need 2 cars currently, so thats not a viable option currently

Want a 3.2 loaner for a week or two? Buy all bits to fix bullet up, lay it up in parents garage for week or so and strip/re-build?

List is not actually that long?

Yup 

That said, without getting all mushy, little fatty has helped me out a fair few times fixing my trusty steed, along with other Omega's in the T house-hold, so even knowing how he drives, willing to lend 3.2 for week or two.

Mind you that's all I want to do, in 2 weeks, would take me 2 years to scrub the tyres to the same effect

That reminds me, tell me the last set of wheels/tyres I borrowed from you, I did give them back? There weren't in my garage, were they? If so, they ain't covered by the insurance
