Post by: joshwyatt on 25 July 2009, 22:55:22: I must say, that is a beautiful car. I thought I wasn't keen on light colour Omega's...but yours has changed my mind. I think the light gold looks very good, that Omega is certainly a credit to you.

Post by: djm1964 on 26 July 2009, 18:10:19: thank you all for your kind comments , there is still some way to go with the mig including a trip to the bodyshop for some re painting , only small but needs doing. Also would like to get the alloys refurbished , but like everything it all costs money , so it's going to take a while . I am very pleased with it especially after the trip to WIM yesterday , they have set the car up like new , she is a joy to drive .

Take care

tip attack the badges with a paint brush to remove the polish from them sounds like im being a bit anal but thats the valeter in me ;D ;D ;D
Title: Re: She is starting to look the part now
Post by: djm1964 on 28 July 2009, 21:47:28: the front bumper has a large "graze" on it and one of the front arches has some small spots that need doing and one very small one on one of the back doors , I will get the paint brush out on the badges hopefully soon , just very busy at the moment thankfully with work.

Take care

Post by: djm1964 on 29 July 2009, 22:02:36: got a busy weekend this week so sadly wont be able to get on with much , work has gone through the roof which is really good for me , but my time is very limited to working on the car. Had to buy a differnt crook lock today as my other one wouldn't fit over the bigger airbag , I tried it but it just marked the steering wheel !

Take care
