I went to look at both these cars for a club member, youve got your work cut out mate, but it can definately be saved if you have a decent workshop and plenty of patience

Dont forget to join up at www.opel-kadett-c.co.uk and keep us updated on progress mate.

PS, Alymac can get hold of most bits & pieces, and he has a few panels too. If you have an A I'm sure your already fluent in german for ebay.de

mmm thats a nice car. i wanted that c20let'd one that was on pistonheads all last year. but when i spoke to him about it the engine had gone. raging!!!! i did leave it way to long to speak to him tho. it took a while to grown on me. tho 3.500 was a bit to much for me!!!

good luck

Thanks ,looking forward to getting the grinder out ....again

Hadrian do sills arches and wing rails.

Klokkerholm do the A pillar skins, lower windscreen corners and the box section from A pillar to inner wing that will almost certainly be missing.

Klokkerholm also do the "outer half" of the inner arches. As before TJM should be able to get these for you. If not I might make the effort or give you the how to information.

If you want to know where to check for rust read this

Whats hilarious is that Mantadoc started restoring that kadett 4 years ago.....

then some godawful manta got in the way

Edited October 11, 2011 by gernster

[rayman]

Just a couple more pics .Decided to call it his and hers.She can have a Manta when there is dirt under her nails

Sure the cat doesnt fit here

Manta shape still better by far

Wonder if i can get same twin headlights in the Kadett

Hid all the rusty bits behind the Manta too make the Kadett look good (sorry better)

Hia Rayman, your A sure looks nice now . We seem to be going in the same kinda direction, my son has just gone and bought an ex road rally chevette 2 door saloon, looking very similar to yout kadett but with the big sloping head lights, needs sills and various patches, paint, interior trim, springs and so on, it'll keep him busy for a while until he passes his test (only 16). Good luck with the Kadette, if it turns out as nice as the A it'll be tidy.
