I need to make a decision on this event, I need to fill at least 20 rooms to get the offer price, So far we only have 14 possibles, a little short at the moment.
I am going to give it until the end of the month and if we are still short then I will have to cancel the event.

Please pass the word around and try and get some more Members/Friends/Family to come along and join us.

Omega Gallery / Re: 2.5 TD estate.

« on: 18 October 2011, 20:51:49 »

Got the plates about 12 years ago, they were on my Carlton which had all Opel badges. The Omega will be getting the Opel make over as and when I get all the badges together.

Cut my teeth on Opel Mantas, so have always been more of an Opel man rarther than Vauxhall, I know it sounds stupid,as they are all made on the same factory line, but each to thier own.

Well as the sun was out today I thourght it was about time I took some pics of the car to post up here.









She had both wishbones replaced not long after getting her back in December, and has just had both trackrod assemblies replaced along with both drop links.

I have also now fitted the new grill I got from Pete Elite and the headlights from tigers_gonads. Thanks to you both.

Old v new head lights.



What a differance the new lights make, I didn't realise just how bad the old ones were.





and finally a quick one of the engine bay.

« on: 18 October 2011, 15:41:57 »

I only got the car last December, so this was it's first MOT in my hands.

I did replace both lower wishbones a few months back, so I am slowly giving it some TLC.

Uneven brake ballance on front. Sticky slider. both calipers striped, cleaned and painted.
Windscreen wipes. Replaced.

It also had an advisery on p/s drop link.  Both replaced.

Not bad for a 11 year old car with 145000 on the clock.
