  • I couldn't resist, I had to rescue it.

    Have you ever seen one? it's an 81 Olds Omega Sport. You either like it or hate it I guess. It's a 1 year only option. It was in the dirt as you see in the junkyard. It's gonna need a lot of work I know. If you have seen one in a junkyard in your area please let me know. As you can see I either have to find a rear fender flare or reconstruct it. One interesting thing about this car is the front fenders and flares are one piece plastic fenders. So this car had plastic panels before the Fiero, and only on the Omega Sport.

            $350, and I got to grab some parts off of other Omegas I wanted. It has the 2.5"Iron Duke" and an automatic. That's not staying in their. I grabbed everything I needed to install a manual from an 81 Skylark.

                        I have a spare L67 in the shed, or keep it low budget and do a 3400 with iron heads and a carbed intake. I know I'm not leaving that 4 banger in it.

                              The floors will have to be cut out. Thankfully the exterior isn't rusted through. I love my plasma cutter and welder. I had to do the same thing to my 82 Turismo 2.2, the outside is good but floors were rusted too from being parked in tall grass. I'm almost finished setting up a supercharger for the turismo. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3330158
