I found one omega what could be good for me. It is a complete car in not so bad condition, the paint is gone, but there is only minor rust on the panels. The interior is complete too, and it is in good condition. And thats it, the suspension and the engine is not important, because i would swap them to racing parts. I emailed the seller, the final price is 1800 Brazilian real(V$510), And he would drop off the car at the port, if i choose to buy this. I would ship it with Ro Ro, which would be:
Shipping fee: V$600/vehicle
Document fee: V$50
Terminal fee: V$7/meter cubed (vehicle volume)
Wharfage fee V$8.35/vehicle
Bill of Lading fee: V$35

So the whole thing would cost me V$1254. I am looking in Europe too, but only the shipping would be this much from there.

I also looked for lotus omega specific parts too, i found everything for the bodykit, but it won't be cheap. It would cost me V$1000 plus shipping from U.K.. And the car needs a proper suspension, and a powerful engine(how would a 2.2 straight 4 cylinder look in a lotus omega? ). I'm not planning to recreate the original engine, but i need something big enough. It could be a V8, or a turbocharged straight six(i really like the JZ's).



So it would be a way bigger and more expensive project than my junkyard fugitive E36(oh and i think i would have to sell her), and the aired E32. I sleep on it, and tomorrow i will decide tomorrow.
