Quite tidy that, watch you don't melt the coolant bottle with the snail though 

[chuftsmv6]

Hi there. Yes thanks I'm still finishing the new downpipe and waste gate then I can fit all my heat shield material to protect my coolant bottle and electrics 
I've just got to upgrade my fuel pump and spark plugs and fit my.my air/fuel ratio gauge then it will be complete
And ready for the road again

Hi all I just thought id update my post the conversion has gone brilliantly and I hope to test run the car tomorrow on the ramp first to give the new turbo and parts a good running in. and to check for any leaks etc Il get some videos very soon if all goes well ive been thinking of taking the family to the billing Vauxhall show in July so I can say hello hopefully to some of the members who helped to make it possible thanks again 

[chuftsmv6]

Finally got it all together. I think that will be enough power for the old girl lol

Wowzers, that will go some!

Credit to you mate, its good to see someone has flipsided the idea of the omega, theres a few on here who are purists, but I admire someone who is prepared to go the extra mile to create something different.

Looks great.

Thanks its been a lot of work and there is still more to be done bodywork wise and it needs a fresh set of shocks Il be going for the bilstein b4 on apex springs hopefully it will stiffen it up abit lol
Just a couple more parts needed and then I can finally give it a run. Thanks again for the nice comments

Saw this go past me at Billing on the Sunday, you was heading over the bridge where the chippy is... I was parked up on the side of the road chatting to a couple of mates... was nice to see it TBH

[chuftsmv6]

Hi yeah I saw you mate I was on my way home Il be going to the next billing show il hopefully have it completed and tidied up abit by then it would be nice to get us all together next time. It was my first show so didn't really know what to expect.
I was abit disappointed that there wasn't many more omega's to be honest but hopefully next time would be nice to see them all together its off the road now till after Xmas I'm doing some tuning work on it and some cosmetic bits hopefully next time you see it Il be running around 500bhp so should be exciting

Omegas are currently in the 'not old enough or LotusCarlton-y enough' category. Anything older, Carltons, Sennys, Monzas theres plenty of. (lots of Monzas this year! I swear they didn't make that many!) and not new enough either. There were more Omegas a few years ago, when they were still relatively modern cars, and therefore plentiful.

But give it a couple more years and there'll be those who are investing in bodywork now, putting their cars back to standard factory etc, and rightly proud and wanting to show theirs off. As you say, not many Omegas now, but their time will come. Carltons were on the doldrums a few years back when I started going. One rusty GSi, a couple of estates etc but they weren't show cars, they were just the old workhorses that were bringing club stuff/family/caravan and ten dogs etc.

Happy that at Saturday Billing mine was the oldest Omega there 

[chuftsmv6]

Hi yeah I look forward to next year its a shame really the omega is a really good solid car and even
Thow mine sits on its ass lol and is wearing 19s it is still massively comfortable hope to see some more
Next year fingers crossed 

[Diamond Black Geezer]

Well, mine was also the tattiest Omega there, but 6 months earlier it was a SORN wreck that hadn't moved in 7 years, so work in progress and all that. I'm not quite up to 500bhp yet, I might cure the lumpy idle, and get my door card back on first
