A major breakthrough today:
After more than 10 years of silence the new engine came to life! The fuel pump was out of function so we had to replace it with another used one, but after that it started right away! It's holding it's pressure fine and everything looks good. Tomorrow I will post pictures from this week.

The car changes from danish to Swedish plates because I have moved and I have just applied for registration. With a little luck I will receive the temporary plates about the same time as we are finished. The international Opel meeting in Öland Sweden is now 4 weeks away so I'll think we make it in time!

The work you have done and the pace you set with your head down is excellent. Would love to get hold of one of these in Australia , would confuse a lot of people. Looks so much like our VB Commodore from '81 (they are based on these) Monza looks like an awesome thing too. We were lucky enough to have some fettled by Peter Brock with a 5 litre V8. Like this one Or this one Larry

good work mate i'm liking the chrome bumper,wish I could get a set for mine,plastic bumpers are just sooo plastic lol It makes quite a bit of difference Not much to report at present time. We send it of to fix the inner ceiling (I don't know the right word for it). It should be back tomorrow and when it comes back all that's missing is to fit the windscreen. Radio fitted: Hopefully the license plates are in my mailbox today!
