Gold Omega CDX
« on: 12 April 2020, 00:14:39 »

Hey guys new to this page just thought I'd show off my new project, always wanted an Omega from I started driving, this popped up locally (think it come out of England recently) I had to have it, liked the colour more than anything, don't see many Omegas this colour.

Don't have too many plans for it other than to make tidy as possible without spending a fortune.



First I done was ripped out the cream carpet and sill trims, carpet was covered in all sorts of stains that I couldn't get to shift so went to my local breakers yard and got a grey carpet and cleaned that up, also cleaned and treated the leather while it was out, couldn't believe the transformation for just £20!



Also sourced a spoiler and got that painted along with the boot lid as someone had superglued holden badges on  :[ have new vauxhall badge coming, also screwed on some gm mudflaps.



Sorry for lack of photos wasn't planning on doing a project thread but covid 19 has me bored  ;D

Future plans are stainless steel exhaust with twin tip, irmscher grill, get wheels refurbished with lower profile tyres and just keep the car tidy, there's not much to do to these cars vauxhall got it bang on imo!

Certainly looks a tidy old thing :y Have you been underneath to check for rust?A good move I think to change the carpet-who thought putting pale carpets in any car was a good idea??-personal opinion I know but I always thought the boot spoiler really "finished" the car off and they look much better with one fitted :y :y

That's pretty much how my interior ended up, but with cream inserts on charcoal door cards...  8)

Yea had it up on the lift before I even bought it to check for rust and its surprisingly solid with no sign of any repairs (yet). Yea carpet completely transformed the inside, nice place to sit in now  8)

Yea previous owner put cavalier springs in the back and cut the front springs haha, looking at Ta technix coilovers on ebay atm but reviews don't seem to great, not sure if I want to pay the higher price for Gaz coilovers or not.

Thanks for comments  :y

Haha thanks, tbh it was the colour that attracted me to it, I've had a few gold cars and I always thought they look well when done, especially in the Omega, rare colours is always good imo :)

No problem but it won't be cheap ;D, bumper respray wouldn't be too expensive, you should get it done, these cars are worth preserving in my opinion.

Also spent the last 2 days sorting out my door pockets :-[, scraped of all the sticky rubber with a knife and brake fluid, then flattened down with 1500 wet and dry and polished up. Looks loads better than before as mine was all scratched.
