Title: Hello from another newbie.
Post by: Jim427 on 08 January 2010, 15:45:31

Hi Guys,

Quick hello from a new Omega owner, as from 15th December, just in time for this beautiful weather. Bought a 51 CDX 2.6 with 66000 on the clock. Shocked to see rust on N/S rear wheel arch, thought such things did not happen on modern cars! Was a Vauxhall fanatic during the Sixties and Seventies, so used to such things. Had all models of the Victor from F type to FD, and a couple of PC model Crestas. Progressed to my true love, American cars, and bought several new ones from 93 until 2002, when a moment of weakness resulted in a pristine 1965 Thunderbird appearing in the garage. Retirement came along in 2007, and I sold my last car, a Cadillac DeVille in July 2009, vowing never to spend money on cars again! That didn't last long, and as the Omega has all the benefits of American fittings and furniture, like all the old Vauxhalls from the past - (even has recirculationg ball steering-wonderful), it seemed the car for me. Just need the weather to shape itself and then I can try it out.
Did I say "a quick message"? Sorry to go on so. Old age seems to do that!
Kind regards to all,

Jim

Jim, welcome to the forum mate, rust on the rear arches in my opinon is normally due to a bad accident repair or the previous owner not keeping the inner arch clean and free of mud build up.
A good body shop should sort that for you and enjoy your execllent purchase.
