After foolishly selling my Coupe last year i decided i couldn't live without a Coupe in the collection.....currently 5 GT's and 2 Commodore Coupes and so here's the latest addition. It's highly likely that this 'old girl' is going to donate her engine (2litre injection CIH), gearbox (5speed Getrag), loom and prop. Although she's come with Oz alloys, I personally don't think she's going on the Kadett. And here's the latest addition to the family.......i think you might recognise it I understand that the under-bidder was someone on this forum, sorry for out-bidding you, but at least we should all be grateful that she's being saved by an enthusiast and won't see any serious abuse, she's going to be lightly mod'ed road car, I'm hoping to achieve something like this...... Before i get started on this though there's a GT to finish and i've just found out that 1 of my other GT projects is coming home soon......more work ;D

looking forward to the day that this project takes shape, as i was originally going to do my white kadett as a gte replica, but found myself torn between yellow/white option or just leaving it white.
in the end i decided to just keep it subtle and unassuming, just to get the surprised look from the young hot hatch lads at the lights. but the yellow and white gte look is my definate favourite!
well done on winning the car, and planning to make it another kadett of beauty

Yeah you out bid me. I had a good look around the car and fully expected a rot box. With the exception of the boot floor and the poor wheel arch repair the car was pretty solid. It might be a good idea for forum members to let each other know about the cars they are bidding on as there is no point in running the price up between members and maybe we can save some dosh. Probably wont make much difference at the moment as there seems to be a healthy market for them probably as people have realised Escorts are to expensive and you get a better car for your money if you buy an Opel.

Yep, probably not a bad idea......unfortunately i guess sometimes it's going to happen especially if it's a difficult part to get hold of.
Thankfully i know this car has come to a good home and although the rebuild might take some time i know it'll be a worth-while:)
