Fitted my Jetex s/s exhaust a really well made piece of kit just went together so easy  :) :y the only thing was the car had its original factory fitted exhaust and the barstid bolts all snapped at the cat end  >:( that was after smothering them in wd40 and tapping them brushing the loose rust off then soaking them again for hours in wd again slowly undo a tad then back it back again to and through but still snapped >:( >:( but the exhaust is on and sounds really nice not loud and quiet when ticking over then when you bury the pedal it has a nice deep sound but not loud.  :-* :y

painted the winter wheels for omega


base color to give blue shade





final color silver





but painting them were a pain in the ar*e >:(   it took 4.5 half hours to paint 2 with clear coat


painting them vertically easier.. for less dust and avoiding flow in the holes

Nice job Cem  :y You sure like to paint much anything in your spare time  ::) ;D ;)

Magwheels

Painting multi spoke wheels was always a royal pain!!!

Look worth it though, they look good.   :y

Not sure if the colour has come out too well in the pics, but looks a decent job there cem, so worth the effort :y

tunnie - did you manage to fix it?
Grumpy old man

Re paint flow, I often wondered about keeping the part turning. Where possible?

No  :(

Big thanks to Josh for staying later than planned, but as per other thread/text it appears to be the loom  :'(

Add into that ABS ECU replacement, we could be at the end of the road I think.

Option 1) Sell both get something like V70 Estate.
Option 2) Get a roof box for the 3.2, which is tempting as sod all is wrong with that car. Bar an aircon valve leak  :)

after having new wishbones,drop links and tie rods done with poly bushes took a drive to wim at chesham get full geo set up done. guys done great job and as good old marks dtm had loosened rear bits etc as seized it only cost £72 to get sorted. felt completely different on return trip.

It's a stressy process if you're new to it, but the results speak for themselves 8)

Enjoy :y
