Post by: danzigfan on 23 October 2012, 15:20:10

Hi guys, after a while....
been working on omega for a few days now, I hope the results are visible (if you compare it with this

http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?topic=105402.msg1319404#msg1319404)

changed three doors, donor car passenger door is going to be repainted due to some rust (http://i1103.photobucket.com/albums/g480/danzigfan1/IMAG0471.jpg)

I had some issues with rewireing driver's door (different connector)

swapped summer tyres for winter tyres (expecting snow on saturday), changed oil, filter and coolant for nice fresh gayish pinky one

Yes, looks great!

IMHO it would look even better if you changed the orange blob side repeaters for the smoked version......

Ha ha kids were in the house most of the time or riding their bikes but what's most important...far away from tools, you know....when I hear "Dad I'l help you!" ...something is going to happen, something bad usually... ;D

Got door resprayed yesterday
 (http://i1103.photobucket.com/albums/g480/danzigfan1/IMAG0502.jpg)

They were right when said "you can't have everything" couse the color doesn't match exactly as can be seen below

(http://i1103.photobucket.com/albums/g480/danzigfan1/IMAG0505.jpg)

and once again
(http://i1103.photobucket.com/albums/g480/danzigfan1/IMAG0504.jpg)
 
but at least all doors are rust free now and the side lines are clear and straight again

(http://i1103.photobucket.com/albums/g480/danzigfan1/IMAG0507.jpg)

and the last one
