1977 Opel Kadett City J - "The Beigemobile"

Yeah! Get some recent ones up!!

cheers guys! and picked her up for £1750 transported to Aberdeen with about a full cars worth of spares including two full doors, two windscreens, a radiator and the list goes on and on. anyway hers some more pics:

first pic of when she arrived with all of the spares inside (this is how low i want the back)


all spares emptied out (spot the Kadett parts) haha


and emptied EVENTUALLY!, there was only space for the drivers seat before!


first wash. got a bit of muscle car stance going on with all the spares emptied!

 a nice scenic shot and a double retro!

 

And AMAZINGLY found this pic of her back in the day! (well a friend found it on google images!)


Adding some flappage!




installed some sound 


where she sleeps all cosy and out of the harsh elements of Orkney


wasn't too sure on the wheels TBH but I'm thinking of either painting the existing ones white or get some white wellers. Opinions?
still more to follow...

sorry guys and guyesses not updated in a bit. well i thought that where the rear no plate was postioned looked a bit rediculous as theres a no plate shaped flat spot below the bumper and this is where they are positioned on chevettes so ive moved that... stickers are just temp to block the holes untill i can find the right colour paint any ideas??



Brake calipers were looking a bit scabby and were starting to rust so what else to do then paint them red and gain massive brake performance boosts! 









So ive also welded up a straight pipe section to replace the big old silencer restricting the huge 1256cc engines potential  and creating a nice burble along the way! 







also painted up the full exhaust system with engine enamel whilst i was at it and cleared out most of the copious amounts of carbon build up, that would jingle at low revs and make it  sound like you were driving santas sleigh!



so thats basically where I'm up to now. I'm now in the middle of removing old underseal and surface rust, applying rust converter, painting with red oxide and then brushing on a thick coat of underseal with added waxoyl to keep the old tin worm at bay ( not the most interesting of jobs).
