"A fine little car"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I bought this car knowing that the carburetor would need to be rebuilt or replaced.

The front-wheel-drive CV axles were bad.

The air-conditioner stopped working.

The front wheels need re-aligning, and make a terrible noise going down the road.

General comments?

So far, this has been a great little car. It has a tendency to flood until it has warmed up, but then you can floor it, and it takes off like it's been hit in the back.

It handles very well, like a bigger car than it is.

I like the bench seat. The seats and carpet are in very good condition.

I like the way this car is designed. I like the little square car look.

The little sideways 4 cylindre engine does very well, testing at around 120 HP.

You sure don't see very many Omega's around, especially the early 80's models, during the past year or so I've only seen 3 Omega's from 1980-84 and I think they're an under-appreciated car, I'll gladly take the Omegas over what they make today that's for sure.
