Today I got a minor setback Last year i bought 2 brand new doors for this car. Unfortunately the right door doesn't fit and it turns out that it's a Monza door and not a Rekord door. I will use it later as I have a Monza too, But now I'm searching for another door. Hope the one from my white donor car is repairable. It's hard to see the difference.

The doors are the same, but the angle of the windshield is different so the window frames are not the same and the door don't fit.

Thanks a lot! It's a friend of mine who does all the work. He says: "Everybody knows that I made the car, so I might as well do it the right way the first time" - But he is a little over the top sometimes, but who am I to stop him

TurboDieselWeasel: I can see that you are German from your threads. I'm surprised to hear that the Opel Rekord E1 Liefervagen is rare even in Germany?

All in all we drove more than 500 km's yesterday to pick up my new spare-part car. When we started the weather was fine, but unfortunately it started to snow witch made the trip take a little longer My friend who does all the work on my car called me today and is very satisfied. He says there is a lot of good parts in it, so now we can move on!

Bloody great!!!! A whole car made out of repair sections! I'm loving this business of drilling out the spotwelds and dismantling the body into useful chunks, its a skill I need to get to grips with.

Unfortunately its hard to get new metal parts for the old Opels so we have to manage with used parts. Fortunately the white car is in much better shape than my green van and my friend who does the work it very talented so I'm sure everything is gonna be great in the end even though it takes some time

Rart at se en gammel Opel få kærlighed! Så der også er almindelige hverdagsbiler der overlever tidens tand :-)
