Bottle jeck in the boot, lump of wood across the shock turrets then pump the back out again. Easy. Change boot lid, easy. Swap locks, easy. Change bumper, easy. job done. If you get the right colour - great. if not, it doesn't matter. Cheap car then.

Doesn't look too bad repairs as said plus check floor pan for distortion

Was wondering the same thing is the floorpan mullered, as mentioned all th necessary repairs look to be doable rear bumper removal doesn't take long and I'm sure the boot lid is straight forward i swapping.

Its getting the replacement bits if you go that way thats going to be a sod.

Good luck  :y

If you're not game to straighten it yourself, a body shop can.  Don't need pretty, just straight enough to work.  Then you can touch up the paint to avoid rust, and swap out the bits as Ronnie says.

well,

Am holding out no hope of the omega being repaired, so went and brought a cheap car to see me through (after borrowing an amount of money to pay for it).

I am now (or rather my girlfriend is now - the Omega was hers) the (proud?) owner of a 1995 N reg Cav TD.

I know its a come down, and the engine is the wrong way round, but my god is it good on fuel!!!

So, off to get some cav bits, filter, oil etc...oh and anyone know the cambelt interval on these (Isuzu engine) and is there a tensioner that needs doing is it off the water pump?
