It could well be 5 John,  its a while since I looked at them.

Its in storage,  but i can get some tomorrow for you. 

I have a brand new one here for injection car. Might need a return line fitting as the blank cover is welded up. This was for a side sender with six holes.  Yours for 70quid.

Wow,  swirl, welcome back fella, how the hell are you?

Thats a very substantial bonnet support.

Did anyone ever convert a diesel to auto, and run it on chip fat.  Now that's a car I'd enjoy. Especially if very base model. 

Happy to sell you a project if you want to test the theory.

Me too. Having left the factory in December and the upwards of 90hr weeks, I have much less money, but I’m also starting to appreciate family time and a life outside of work. I certainly don’t miss 12hr night shifts or the 2hr a day commute, so it’s back to the balancing act of less money for the car, but more time to do it. I really hope to get it back mot able and then I can enjoy some of the trappings of no weekend shift working.

I do remember you Jacko lah and on Cavweb too. Sorry to hear you've not been well but glad you're on the mend and taking things easier. That is a long commute but at least it's only once a week. Nice looking Omega, don't see many of them anymore.

Another diesel owner!

That reminds me, where did I leave the mig welder... 

I bought a brand new welder a week before lockdown,  then couldn't get gas, everywhere being shut,  then got busy so still not been used,  i hope it works.

Yay, need to get my arse in gear then and get a car on the road,  cant turn up in a French car again.

Welcome to the forum. I'm sorry for your loss,  it must be hard for you. I think your car is great, we dont see many 2 doors over here so its nice to see another one out there. You are in the right place for advice although the site is quiet as many use Facebook now. A few members still prefer here though. Good luck and post some more pictures.

Nice motor,  welcome to the forum. What's your plans going forward?

I think we have slept as a country during 2020 with lockdown and the like. I think we need to take a positive view that things will be better by the summer.

Ohh you lucky chap, would love a calibre, rust free or otherwise 

Just check everywhere for rot, but if its been over there a long while, you may be lucky. Worst things are rear chassis legs, followed by inner and outer sills, boot floor,  lower rear quarters, and front floor pans, where they are triple skinned. The rest is usually just bits n bobs.

Welcome back!  Sorry to hear you've been unwell, but good your on the mend. Things are much quieter on here these days since the rise of Facebook. Only the die hard oldies tend to frequent the forum,  still its good to be here. 

Looks great fella, get out an enjoy it.

I think its a type error and should say holes.

Unlikely as i still wont have a running car, I'm still working as normal so could be a carrier, so im more likely a bigger risk to others than they are to me.

Welcome to the club, put some pictures up of your car please.

Hi there. Looks a cracking project! You say offers but have you got a ball park figure in mind please? 

Come on Matt,  its about time you were back in cav ownership. 

Ask Jason,  aka newbody, on here. Hes had loads of estates so knows pretty much everything there is to know.

Nice, got to love an estate 

Get some pics of your car up aswell! Pics are the way forward!

Id start by putting up a list of which panels you actually need,  then people can help you find stuff
