It is with deep regret that I am putting my Opel Rekord up for sale. Too many projects and not enough time/money for them all.
For those of you that don't know the car, I bought it as a rolling shell in 2014. The engine, gearbox, wiring loom, radiator, fuel tank and pump plus more was missing. I sourced a genuine 2.2 injection engine, a Manta 5 speed gearbox and the rest of the parts came from all over the UK.
73800 miles.
MOT due 22.10.2018
Some areas of body work were repaired, A pillar by windscreen, sills, a patch in the o/s/r door, front valance plus more. Paintwork was matched brilliantly but the prepwork must have been curse word as there are areas that have boubled up (roof and rear arches)
Engine. New timing chain kit and water pump. New plugs, leads, oil and filter. Engine oil has been changed again since going back on the road. Correct 2.2 flywheel was blasted and skimmed, and a NOS clutch kit fitted. New clutch cable. Radiator was sourced but required reconditioning so is as new.
Rear axle is an estate axle (slightly wider) with new diff pinion bearings and a new o/s/r wheel bearing. Fresh diff oil.
New front disks and pads, new drums and shoes on the rear.
New rear shock absorbers and 1x new spring
New front ARB links
New heater matrix
Cd Player fitted with new speakers in the dash.
New chrome screen trim front and back.
4x new tyres
New old stock fuel tank sourced then hit with a few coats of hammerite black.
The list goes on and on. Ive used new parts where ever possible.
Electric windows, electric mirrors, central locking, power steering, electric boot release, trip computor.... all in good working order. The interior is in very good condition. Runs and drives superb.... must be driven to appreciate.
Needs minor fettling to make mint. Interior light doesnt work, fan blower motor is seized (second one thats seized, must be common) and the rear arches could do with sorting sooner rather than later. Ive already put well over £4000 into the restoration so making a loss as it stands. Any questions please ask. Located in Stoke on Trent.
