Opel Omega 2.0i LS 1990 (turbo project)
« on: 01 April 2013, 17:02:54 »

Hello! Since my English is poor so I have chosen and use google translate as possible there are some typos, you need only regret it. I thought I could start a project thread of my Opel Omega. When I bought it it looked pretty ugly. Is not nothing nice car yet, but it comes with time :) Will also build C20NE turbo on it later, but first authenticate lowering and such in the registration document, and take a little rust on it so fun begins: D Here are a couple pictures of how it looked when I got it, and as it is now. Hope you understand what I have written hehe :) Will also replace interior, the interior from my old car, an Opel Omega 2.0i CLUB 1992, but there is chassi become so bad that I choose and use this chassis.




















Off with the old front and on with the new. Front of Omega A2














Set the original tinted taillights



Installed new exhaust  ;D



More coming soon :p

Looks like someone's emptied their bladder on the rear seat. Loved my old Carlton

Haha I should have said it myself
Seats and everything will be switched to the slightly newer type of Omega (Carlton) Also have a new Omega maybe I should buy that car I will be using in while I fix this :) demonstrated I wonder and enable one of my old Opel . Here's a picture of it. Need some body work that well, but I have not the heart and throw the car. Some welding stations and wheel arches of this and a little paint work so it will be enough "good as new"


How it looked before. Have had this car for a while, has unfortunately been badly used.







And now it looks like this: (

Hehe :D thought and paint it up in the original color again. But it needs to be done with it is and straighten out some dents and welding rust, thought and welding new wheel arches in the morning, thought Opel Vectra A wheel arches, carved out some bows today on old vectraen to a buddy of mine today , need and patching them a little bit but I got that soon enough :) this car was the first car I had when I got the license, have had several cars before that too, but this car has left its mark on me so have not the heart and do something different one and fix it again. So bet this will be good, will come with the update tomorrow again, and can not wait and start :) really want and get it ready for summer again :p
