Made the most of a day off when swmbo was out with a friend, and it was nice out for a change  :)

Gave the inside a good clean - leather, carpet, trim, and fitted my new mats.
Also fixed the slight issue with my radio fascia and the cassette deck problem.
Washed and cleaned outside. Would have liked to polish and wax it maybe, but am heading out tonight.
I'm gonna ROCK  :D

Finished removing the interior. All seats, carpets, dash air bags etc are out. I've seen how much insulation has been put in the car which is obv why it was so good at hiding the diesel noise. I'm not sure if this was on all omega's or just the elite.

Got my now round wheel back however they lost the tyre off it. What a shame they had to give a brand new spanker Pirelli Rosso.

She did. She had to fill it today  :-[

Still, there is a Morrisons selling LPG a couple of miles from where she works, so that 6ppl will make up for it ::)
