.......Hope you put the front bumper on - will look good on a prefacelift! I like the F/L bumper it seems bigger and better suited to the car.

Keep going Pete, keep going!

..........is it? Oh sorry, thought it was PreF/L. (Looking at the Estate bootlid - did they make 2.5 TDs F/L?)

No matter then, it's gonna look good.

Will you spray it the same Blue as the Saloon? (please, it's such a great colour?)

That bootlid is not from the Elite - it's one that I bought as I need two. :y

It won't be Scooby WRX blue. :-X

This is also on a site that I moderate for (www.totalcarlton.com) and it has to be said that although there are alot of things the same between Carlton (Omega A) and Omega B, the bodyshells are nothing like similar.
Floorpans may be very very similar, but as far as panels go, I think that's about it!

HI i always love pick ups in my home town of thailand and think that this is a fantastic project and would love it filled with sound system running very low suspension on big wheels and yellow paint, cant wait to see this project finished and painted, any chance you could weld up my rear arches when you get a minute, nice tidy welding there, cheers kack :y ;D

Hi Pedro,

Don't suppose you have any close up photos of how you welded up the rear doors and if you could give me any advice on how you went about doing it please.

Did you brace the door in any other way to stop it flexing when going over bumps and causing the paint to crack?.

Cheers  :y

Left the rubbers in the doors to seal the gaps between the sills and 'door' panels, avoid any possible rattles and believe it or not, also adds a little rigidity.
I shall be welding a piece of box in to connect the B pillars to the rear strut tops, then from one side to the other, under the cabin back (old hatch door) to add further strength.

Well, that's the plan, anyhow! :y

excellent build and really glad you're posting again i was really disappointed when you weren't going to post the rest of the project, will you need to get this tested for an m.o.t at a testing station when complete?

It'll have to have a 'special' test at a VOSA (?) centre.
I have the details somewhere, but a terrible memory! :)
