Took delivery of this estate today , bought it off a pal of mine on another forum Not really sure what to expect - I only saw the online pics but I have got mountains of spares so thought It'd be an easyish fix .. So pics from when it was on sale So I knew it was going to need a front panel - I got one off Aly , just a pattern part but it'll do the job . Needs a grind/prime etc . So it got delivered earlier tonight up at Psychedilia Central ( or FilthyJohn's place as it's better known.. ) I forgot it was an old 70's Opel and inadvertantly farted 17 feet away from it and erm , the wings promptly fell off - I should have known better really .. So we had a poke and it's got holes in the usual places so not too much to worry about tbh - nowt I haven't seen before and I was kinda expecting it too N/S headlamp mounting panels are goosed - panels are available but it's a fairly easy bit to make Other side is no better This is probably the best bit of the front panel Bumpers are goosed too but I've got new ones . Canny bit of space in the back though - ideal parts chaser ! Gulf colours anyone ? So did we attack it with the grinder and fire the welder up ? Of course not - we make sure the wheels look cool first - it's the rules isn't it ? Yep they'll do ;D More/better pics to follow through the week . .

Yeah they're not exactly common are they ? !
Can't remember the last time I saw one for sale tbh
Probably easier/quicker to get a Chevette estate and whack a Kadett front end on it !
