No body will know but you unless they like picking things apart lol

 

Sadly I am one of those people lol idk why I'm always picky about things

 

Where is the location of the rear main seal I have a vicinity but can't recall ever seeing one when I took apart my engine I have the rope seal if that helps

 

Also I received mg oil pump today its a 1977 oil pump :O it looks great tho lol little surface rust but after I soak it in oil it should be fine lol

This is the 79 I am buying making payments for a total of 850 and I no longer need to pay on the sx so for 1000 bucks I have bought 2 cars this one is just a body the engine not included. No problem I have an engine and trans. My plan is to use all I can and make me an sx clone or semi clone idc lol gonna convert to floor shift and I'm gonna really enjoy the interior its in immaculate condition minus the seat cover on the bench but its on a seat cover no biggie

 

Looks like a nice car.

This rust isn't part of it, though, is it?

No worry's MD its just a battery tray I'm more concerned about the core support lol and its in great shape before I drop in my stuff after I take out his I'm gonna sand and primer core support and such lol this was his first project before he went into the air force lol but he said it stalls when. You put it in gear because of a vacuum issue but that ain't gonna stop me from driving his 403 up and down my road before I pull it

 

So you are probably wondering where I went? I bought his other omega for 850 I should get it soon with title. I parted out and sold the 77 and will end up/ made a little over a grand in class so I'll go into detail later should I make a new thread

 

OK story time folks.......

Well when I left off here for a while I talked the guy down from 1500 to 850 on his 79 omega. From what I see its in far better shape then the last one esp the interior so I jump on it. OK now where do I come up with the money well I parted and sold the SX. I made most my money on the rear seats and hatch stuff. A guy came down from Ohio and bought my whole rear interior and console for 375 I sold gauges heater components and the car so I am up to 750 bucks cool right? Well yes it is I have to sell my bumper and wiper motor to QS442 for 100 my buckets to another guy in Ohio and step plates and various small parts so after its all said and done I'll have made a little over 1000 bucks! That will give me the little bit of needed extra cash to finish the engine. The guy who bought the sx pulled my th350 and will bring it back soon so my ride is almost a dream come true guys I still have yet to thank each and everyone of you for the hours of help and answers of my dumb questions. I should get my car next weekend hopefully and then I can make a video and show you what my money has gotten me.

 

Sounds like you got a better car, looking forward to the build and pics

 

Sounds like some good wheeling and dealing, Bill.

Does the new car have a V8 or a 6?

Ols 403 I gotta pull his engine and tranny but he's provided the lift to do so he's pitting it in a Chevy bwahahahaha. But I don't have to change mounts thank God

 

Now that's more like it.

Sounds like you did the right thing:
Bought the wrong car, recognized it before you got in too deep, sold it off and made a profit, and now have (what seems to be) the right car.

Projects don't always go straight forward, but this one is going the way it should.

Thanks I feel this one will be a better project it was for a while the guys daily driver so I feel I won't have too much to do my trucker friend who hauls cars is going to work this week (we welded on extra ramps to e tend his hauler) and IF his new rig does good this week he said top priority this weekend since I helped him all week till like 9 to 12 eachnight my car next weekend is top priority

 

Well done Bill, looking forward to some pictures of the new one.

 

Did the photo bucket link above not work lol I'll have more soon lol

 

Wow, I don't know how I missed the link. It looks to be a much better candidate than the 1st one.

 

For sure I hate the fact its not a hatchback though lol that was a cool thing imo
