Hi to all,
Pretty quiet in here, Kadetts must be getting rare.
I'm kris & back in june I brought rickys blue kadett on the the bay.
No plans as yet, Just lowered 40mm with some deepdish ats classic's.
Theres afew rust holes in the boot which need patching & the roof & bonnet could do with a respray.
Runs sweet now but was suffering from a blocked heater matrix, radiator & knackered fuel pump.
next on the list is the brakes as once your going takes a while to stop lol.
I also need some help gearbox wise as the kadett has a gearstick like stiring a sloppy soup. I take it a spring in the sector has gone?
Cheers

hi and welcome, seen your kadett at billing, looked good, apart from needing lowering, and some headrest on the front seats looked wrong without them,
gearbox should always feel positive, as there is no linkages to go wrong, think there is a plastic housing at the bottom of the lever could have broken up, if the gearbox has gone these are easy to pick up as most ditch the 1.2 for some thing else, ive a gearbox here you could have for beer money

The gearbox selects gears ok it just the spring on the stick if it has one has gone as the stick flops about.
