Looking great ,I really like that colour it polished up well. The interior has cleaned up very well too. Those heated seats are incredibly comfortable . I fitted a full MV6 interior a couple of years ago ,the sports seats (made by Recaro) looked great but were soooo hard and uncomfortable that I refitted the originals after four days.

Why thank you. But, it hasn't been polished. Just waxed with some liquid wax from Meguiars. Probably a good polish will bring it up even more, but a repaint is in order. There are 3 different tones of Krypton Green on the car. Not to mention dust in the paint, dents, scratches and whatnot. But, today a bigger project started nearing the end: It's been a pain in the backside, not to mention the wrist, knees and back. Thank god there's cold beer to help relaxing. Somehow there wasn't any kind of write-ups done for fitting Bose to a face-lift Omega. There is one for a preface-lift Omega, but no words and again, many different points weren't covered. But now that I've done it, I'm going to fill the void that has been left in the world..

Well, early to say. At the moment I know it works, just tested it out. Some of the tweeters are missing and some sound insulation, not to mention door cards. Also the stereo needs to be reconfigured to Bose. At the moment it sends and amplified signal to the amplifier, which then gets distributed to the speakers. But I think it sounds heaps better, at least when listening to Eiffel 65 - Blue. Okay, an aftermarket stereo with decent speakers, filters and amplifiers with a mono amp and subwoofer will definitely sound better. But it's my quirk, to use OEM parts to make things better. Besides, I like my trunk space..

Respect for the dedication to detail! How about a small vid so we can hear it?

Mo problem with the video, just need to wait a few days. My phone is being replaced with a new one through home insurance, so that needs a bit of time. But, we had some snow, so here are some pictures:

So, I guess long time, no updates. Anyway. After the last picture: Some nice snow. Upgraded the headlights from Xenons to LED-s. Best decision ever! New overflow tank because the old ones sensor was faulty, also added automatic lights. Some nice pictures on my plot of land. But after that the car has been running great, nothing much has happened. Am trying to save it a bit from the salt and such, but to no avail. Rust spots have appeared on the rear arches, so again, some rust removal needs to be done. But, bought a project to try on. A 2003 Seat Toledo, with MOT 2 months, for 450€. Sills need replacing and some general maintenance done. Then a lick of paint, TT wheels, some low and will put it on the market in high hopes some teenager will like it. But what's not to like.. Also, counted my history of Cars. The Seat is nr. 22.. 2 more and I'm up to my age..

Wow. Been a long time. At the moment the Omega is still with me. But a lot has happened inbetween my last post and this one. So: thought this through and will make a separate thread for all of my ramblings and discoveries in the world of cars. Since my last mention of the Seat, there have been 12 more cars. And I'm pretty sure it's sensible to start a different thread with my car history and my joint operation with a friend of mine. So, I guess that if You're interested in such a thread, I'll start work on it and hopefully will get somewhere in the next few days.
Also, the Omega has been standing for a month now, MOT ran out and I'm in the middle of thinking everything through. I'll probably start working on it in the next month, follow through winter and then have it MOT-d in spring, since I don't want salt on it anymore. Have a badgeless grille for it, Irmscher rear lip, new headlights, fitted some dark pre-facelift taillights, LSD is coming next week, so a lot is going to happen. But about all that in due time.
