All you need now is a nice sunny weekend to get stuck in :y
-
Sweet rims man, are they the coilovers for a omega aswell in the pic? They look like the set I tried and returned them shortly later for being so bad.
-
Yeah I do Harris lol I'm testing a rear wheel today at lunch so will post a picture up tonight and hopefully fitting front bumper and new bonnet grille after work.
And cheers :) and yeah they are the ones of ebay ta technix I think they come as spares as the previous owner didn't like them and had some front coilovers made up. Will post a picture later aswell
-
Do your have the rears with the kit aswell? Just curious if you can read the part numbers to compair with the ones I had?
-
Looking at them while test fitting a wheel I don't think they are the rear coilovers but will double check when I get more of a chance
-
Thanks, how did the fit go, I'm guessing et20 is goin to give it some poke?
-
erm not well lol i have adaptors aswell so makes it et0 lol

-
Oh my lord, I'm not sure that's ever goin to fit, what pcd are the wheels, any chance of using wobble bolts?
I think et 50 will fit 10j wheel, it's along way to go
-
Yeah I'm gunna order some wobble bolts. Should fit on rear with the. Front's could be a pain as on old ones the tyre hit on the coilovers gunna need to make sure they side wider as not sure how wide my front air ride struts will be
-
A set of axle stands are needed here ::) And that jacks looks too small for the job.. See you have a proper gearbox though ;D ;D ;D

Looking fine on them wheels, can you just roll the rear or does it need pulling out aswell?
-
i reckon just a light arch rolling will work but its just a waiting game now to remove the studs and waiting on the struts. gunna start sorting the air lines etc next weekend
-
well my original plans for today didnt go ahead so instead i started on my roof lining

My new front seats have arrived :) i just need to buy a leather rear estate bench( if anyone is selling one :D) and get it trimmed to match

-
You might be better off grabbing the first working estate rear seat regardless of material as cloth will be far more readily available :y Also, if you want heated rears, then it needs to be Elite, and cloth heaters are more durable... Besides if they're being recovered the original material is largely irrelevant ;)
-
Yeah true. Was thinking of getting a black leather one if possible then I can stick it in and it will still look half decent if that makes sense until I can get it retrimming but I'll see what I can find :)
-
Fair enough :y Worth noting also that any Omega B estate seat will fit, as although later seats have a couple of extra safety bits and bobs, none of it is Mot relevant and certainly there are no airbag/pretensioner issues... ;)
-
Loving those seats mate!! 8)
-
Yeah that's cool handy to know :) I bought them while pissed Thursday night haha arrived on Monday didn't have a clue what thy was. Lol just means respray will have to wait a couple weeks more now lol
-
I've got some socks like yours! 8)
-
haha good old primark haha
had my number plate flipper arrive today. Meaning once ive smoothed my irmscher front bumper. i can press the button so that i have a plate on show while driving and once i get to a show press it and plate gets hidden away :)

Looking good mate - but why didn't you repair split in front bumper before spraying it? - stands out like a sore thumb IMO.
Easy repair too!

If you read the whole thread, the rear bumper is being/has been painted... Front bumper has been glacier white from new...???
-
I stand corrected re my comment about the repainting of the front bunper - but my comment stands re the split in it.
-
The full car is being resprayed and all repair work is being done then as didn't see point of getting repaired and sprayed glacier white again when it's changing and front bumper is having alot of work with plate recess being smoothed etc. once the air ride is on and I can then see if I need to do any arch modifications to fit my bbs wheels.
On the plus side my rear air bags arrived yesterday. And fronts will be here in around 2 weeks

presumably that's set to lowest "show" height otherwise I cant see your expensively acquired Irmscher bumper lasting 5 minutes. ;D
John.
-
I'm very impressed with the amount of money and effort that you have put into the car, but I'm afraid that to me it looks chavtastic. Each to his own however. :y
-
Dam it's gonna be hot with them bbs rims aswell, fitting the rears tomorrow?
-
Yeah that's the lowest setting can raise it up quite a bit i do have a video but not sure how to upload a video on it here so yeah the bumper will be well away from damage lol.
Well if air ride is chavtastic I'd hate to see what you would say to alot of other things.
And yeah 106 Pete aiming to get rears fitted tomorrow and then I pick my bbs up from refurb next week.
-
Take the comments with a pinch of salt James, remember some... Not all people on this forum are quite a bit older than even me and I'm old! They don't understand that chavtastic is not even a word let alone I haven't heard it since the 90s!! ;D ;D
In their eyes if it's not completely OEM and as boring as hell then the insults start flying, I had it all when I built that car up... Ooooh it hasn't got standard suspension, ooooh its this.... Oh it's that etc! Sod'em dude, do what makes you happy and continue on the modifying path your on! Car looks ace, keep it up! :y
It still escapes me how people can be so narrow minded ::)
-
I'm not bothered by them lol its my car and my money lol. Most chavs can't afford air suspension anyway lol I'm guessing all the american low riders are chavtastic aswell.
I love it and that's all that matters
-
I love it and that's all that matters
You said it. Looks great! :y
-
Cheers :)
-
forgot to say :y
awesome looking motor.
John.
-
Cheers it's slowly getting there. Got the rear irmscher bumper to go on. Once I've got the rear bags and wheels on then it's respray time
-
I really want to fit bags to mine...
What do you do come MoT time....?
Especially with the steering wheel and lack of airbag...?
-
its not cheap to do lol the rears have gotta have alot of work done to make fit :(
and well the car already had a aftermarket steeing wheel when i bought it in jan and mot runs out in dec so ill find out then i guess haha

haha lol yeah that will changing soon house has only become mine in last couple weeks lol
-
Whilst what you're doing isn't really my cup of tea I've got to say the work is great. As for the air... One way to stop the clampers!!
Not sure if I like the red wheels... I liked them in gold.
Keep up the work and keep the pictures coming... Like I say, not my cuppa but looks good all the same :y
-
the gold paintwork on the bbs originally was very bad and basically if you rubbed it hard enough it come off lol do refurb was needed and the car is being resprayed and the gold wont suit what i like.
and yeah i dont expect everyone to like what im doing but would rather people be honest then not
full respray is due shortly
-
test fitted on one side today quickly needs a little play with the fitment but not to bad so far

Really nice fit on the rear, can you tuck the front anymore? It looks like quite abit of camber on the rear, I'm guessing if you correct it the tyre won't fit under the arch tho?
-
I need to remove the spacer of the front as it has aired out onto the tyre so once removed hopefully will sit better at front. And yeah I'm pleased with how rear sits. I do have a spacer on the rear I could remove then I'd be able to adjust it back. Buthe I like abit of camber lol
-
Id be rolling those arches back, both front and rear...
Can't you fit the adjustable camber anchors for the top of struts to get the wheel to tuck under when on full drop...?
I'm sure they are available for the Monaro, so should easily fit the Omega... with a bit of work....
-
ive already got custom top mounts on front which are movable so they dont bend the standard top mounts. il gunna sort the front camber at the weekend. and yeah im gunna roll both front and rear arches as ive got a arch roller
-
well got some more bits sorted on the estate over the weekend. finally got the faded roof wrap off. was a long process

Looks real good bud, I never noticed the roof rails were missing till I noticed the filler hehe. The rear camber does look good but them tyres sure ain't gonna last very long.
-
Yeah I wernt sure what I was gunna find under the wrap buythe i was actually really surprised and pleased it's one less job for bodyshop now. And yeah I know lol its only way to make them fit with 20mm spacers doesn't look as good without them lol and lucky my mate works in tyre place ;)
-
Coming along nicely :y
-
Cheers :) she is slowly getting there
-
so i decided i didnt wanna cut the rear spring holders off to fit the rear bags i was giving so instead i found some that would fit which was for a vw transporter but they have fitted and worked

-
Loving this mate its what I wanted to do to my pre face saloon about 10 years ago but never did and it sits on my drive waiting for me to decide to break it or sell it now. Then I wanted to do it to the estate I had and again never got round to it and then found it was rotten at the back ended up as parts. So I'm glad I have seen one done. Just gutted now lol that I never did finish off any of mine. Top top job mate. :y
-
Looks wicked mate!!
-
cheers gstyle its not been cheap to do and ill probably regret it as will never make my money back but thats life lol but im enjoying it

The car is looking killer,certainly going to be a one off and you will have absolutely no chance of seeing anything like it any where else in the UK...it's a great example of making the car your own, and once the final touches go in it's going to get admiring looks where ever you take it.....but you'll get used to that ;) :y
-
I see it quite regularly cruising around and I have to say looks better In the flesh the pic do not do it justice :y
-
Picky ain'tcha!! :P
-
cheers nitro :) and thats what im hoping to :) im aiming on making it into a full proper show car and its getting there slowly. hoping for a mag feature aswell :)

She is looking lovely mate, you've done an excellent job so far :y :y
-
Second that :y people tend to take the piss out of the Omegas..only they know why ::)....but I get a lot of positive comments from people I meet,and your car is already shaping up really nicely...especially the suspension system that's going to make your Omega a one off due to your vision and abilities to see it through :y
-
cheers paul ull see it when you come down for these parts ;)
and cheers nitro i went to a little local show at weekend and had alot of people talking to me and a group of vag lads saying they loved up. ive also been accepted in the show and shine at players so should be the only omega there again :) i cant wait to finally get it sprayed tho lol
-
You might think about joining the ABS(that's if you haven't already)as they are all VX and I've spent the last few months going to the shows that they attend and have really enjoyed the atmosphere of those shows.Also they have quite a few shows in and around Essex which is a hop over the bridge from your patch. :-\
-
I shall have a look later when I'm home from work nitro :) and I always like a show :D

A lovely sight 8)

thank you :)

I wish they did all red rear lights, think it would go well against the red wheels, sorry if I missed it but did you use origional white or go for something newer?
-
yeah i get what you mean. i did have a set of all red rear ones on my mk4 astra which i spray so i could try that with original rear lights
