Finally got one!
« on: 28 January 2013, 03:42:27 »

After owning 70+ cars i have finally got myself an omega. Started life like this,







But now looks like this after buying an elite as was cheaper then buying all the bits i needed separately then sold the elite on.













She's been behaving and so far have giving it a full service and new set of glow plugs but gives a nice drive.
Will look into chipping it in the near future as a bit of a plodder but does the job!

Sorry about the pic sizes but have spent the last 2hrs trying to upload them >:(

Thanks Guys, all it needs is the rear spoiler to finish it off.

I was going to take the spoiler of the donor car but the the boot lid was pretty scratched up and i couldn't of really sold the car on without the spoiler as would of damaged it taking it off. Still all the bits ended costing me about £40 in the end and the wheels only just had £180 worth of tyres fitted before i brought it :D

   Nice car and a very late 2.5 TD. Yes, autos can be chipped but need an AR35 fitted first.
