If I had a welder and some skill I might have had a crack at it.  :)

But the thing is Rolf, your Omega in Germany is worth a lot more than ours are here in Blighty, so the time and effort is more worthwhile. ;)

Excuse me Sir Tigger

For me it is not a question how much worth is an Omega. I like the cars, that is enough reason to hold them.

And that's a good reason Rolf!  :y

For me though the Omega needed a lot of work, I have been mostly using my BMW recently and one of them had to go.  :(

Thank you Sir Tigger

I like to bring both of my Omegas to the "Oldtimer Status" (+30 years)  :)

Mine needed a lot of work to keep it on the road too...

The bottom of the spare wheel well needed replaceing, as I could literally see the road underneath if I removed the spare wheel, plus there was a structural issue there too.... The rear section of the boot floor had a massive crack in it, I tow a caravan, so when you have 1 1/2 tonnes swinging off the rear of your car, you want it so it won't just break away at anytime....

Mine just wasn't worth the time and money to save it....

Hi out there anywhere  ;)

The main reason why I am here (beside British Humor) is to show people out there how to hold an Omega. Have the courage, take it in your own hands and do it!

I am not a mechanic, but I can do anything on Omega welding.

Here some impressions, what I did on my Saloon early last year.

Last picture is a German Tüv certificate. Allows to registrate and using the car for another two years.

Best regards

By the way....

The old lady has done under 2000 miles since tuev last summer. I dis - registered her in November 2016. This year she is still sleeping. I want to switch over one year and wake her up in spring 2018 Tuev is still valid then and I see no reason to get a new one - until 2020.
