Shug Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Now thats nice! Are those front seats from an Audi? Look very very similar (blitz aside) to whats in my A3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garymanc Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 looks stunning with the new seats are the rear lights new Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted March 20, 2009 Author Share Posted March 20, 2009 Recaro's are from a GTE. The blitz logo is based on the 1963 Blitz badge used by Opel. Rear seats were from an old set from an Ascona. The recaros were free believe it or not including seat frames. The rear lights are the original ones blacked out by aerosol, the front indicators came from German ebay. Will post up pics of the dash sometime, it has laser cut stainless clock rings again from german e bay. Hard to find the clock ring kit as the Ascona has 3 actual dials not 2 like a Manta with 4 small dials. Opel sport leather wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
