Yep - I think it's the same shell that Adam used to create the still-born Omega V8, as that had alot more rear legroom.
Not sure, but is that front door a tad longer than "our" Omega?

Post by: david_omega on 05 April 2010, 08:58:55: doors all look the same from comparison, its the bit between rear door, and the rear wheel that is longer, stil, with ours being narrower, less filler and grinding when the inevitible rust sets in!!!

Post by: david_omega on 05 April 2010, 09:19:45: although now my modified version sits longer at its arse than the holden, might be camera trickery and poor angles, or,
the holden MIGHT be the same length, but MORE LEG ROOM than boot space?
