After more or less an year i subscribed that forum... i finally got an Omega.
'01 3.0 estate, 170t km, manual.
Drinks petrol like a drunken Russian hooker drinks vodka, but it's nice to drive, has winter tires on 15 steelies, paid it few euros, has a lot of space and has a tow hook.
Issues to solve:
Dampers are blown, no probs, got a coilover kit from SPAX.
Diff isn't the rignt one, gonna find an LSD or weld the original one.
E-brake isn't working, gonna fit an hydraulic one.
Don't have summer rims, not a big problem, there's just the choice.
ALL FOUR doorcards look like shit, gummy stuff that covers panels is falling off / getting sticky, dunno if replace 'em with marine wood panels cutted to fit the door (as i am doing the rear half of the car, i already removed rear seats and gonna saw a piece of light wood on purpose, i have to put a kart / downhill MTB / 35kgs dog on it)
Nice original radio btw, Bose equipped, gonna keep it, useful during trips to drifting events or when i use it normally.
As you can guess that's not gonna be a familiy car but a toy / tow / drift car.
