Omega Owners Forum - Ronnie Projects 10 & 11.....

RonaldMcBurger Ex Member	Ronnie Projects 10 & 11..... 09. Aug 2006 at 17:22 Project 10 I supposedly bought last night during a phone call, whilst Mark and Laidback worked on a car outside. 1996 P-reg CDX Auto saloon in Black. Project 11 I am trying to buy now, so no further details, except to say it isn't very old at all.

You seem to have a radar device for a decent bargain omega!

Project 11 cancelled as I give up ringing the guy selling it just find out his phone is switched off.....

So, anyone else want it here it is 2000, v-reg CDX Auto Estate for £995! ....

looks like someone has bid now, so the buy it now has gone. Still will be cheap though, could always make them an offer.

Aug 2006 at 19:35 I personally think that would have been a bad choice for no.11 I really don't like the way that is advertised.... A service book, but no receipts and a description that is, at best, ambiguous. No, there is too little said there... I think there are better cars for the money.

I'm sure Ron could have thrown another engine together for it with some bits he'd have lying around in his kitchen.

I would have bought that just for me. Engine, little to go wrong on them, but a major serviec would have included Dis pack, leads, plugs, oil cooler, thermostat, full coolant flush, rockers, breathers, cambelt, tensioners, and that is about it for the engine except maybe an oil change or three.

Then, wishbones, discs all round, pads, rear shoes, handbrake cable. Then probably a new exhaust front to back, and a gearbox swap.. Probably around £500 investment, but then you would have a damned good 6 year old luxobarge you could use for 5 years.

Realistically a weeks work.

But, it could end up very cheap. Personally, I would not have mentioned the mileage and just sold it to someone who didn't think to ask.
