;D ;D Big thanks to Nightmares I have relieved him of the Orange Kadett and most of the remaining bits from the Turbo Nutter Kadett ;D Drives nicely and will make the ideal starting point Got the wheels, Got a set of decent seats, and got a set of Willans 3" harnesses on their way, just need a cage first before I fit the harnesses I have a set of -2" 400lb front springs from my old ascona, its standard front springs will go on the back with a coil cut if needs be, just need some decent dampers for it now. Cant wait to get started on it now ;D ;D Cheers again Nightmares ;D

I`ll get some photos of it later, so theres a "Start to finish" set ;D Sorry Davey....I just asked the question Nightmares has still got that lovely Merc for sale.... You wont find a cheaper one... slam it over a nice set of wheels, do the carb mod that Mercmad said and away you go... Nice cheap and very very cool Retro ;D

So is this going Youngtimer.de style?? or you got other plans? Could be I am thinking arches of some kind, Group 4 over 8x13`s is one idea. But I am strangely drawn to the J-Type Black screw on arches..... I think it would look pretty cool as a sorg of Berg Cup meets Bozu ;D Low, fat euro wheel/tyres, covered by black screw on arches with an oil cooler out front. Very clean almost euro look bodywork..... Anyone want to photoshop it for me ;D Orange KAdett hatch Black arches, 8x13 ATS classics, quater bumpers and oil cooler ;D

Look forward to following its transformation to retro-euro-bozo-racer Yep it is, no horrors hiding underneath ;D Not that I thought there would be of course, having come from Mr Nightmares but always nice to be reassured ;D Washed it last night and checked all the usual spots, but its really sound. I`ll get started on it at the weekend..... ;D ;D Cool Fat wheels are on the watch list and the seller has agreed to post them over from Germany Trim will be coming off and the few little spots and stone chips will be sorted out. Springs on hopefully to get it sitting lower as well ;D
