611 Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Ok, so i probably shouldn't post it here and feel free to remove it if it offends! But my latest project is one of these (see pic below) and they have soooooooo many parts that are cheap but when there are so many it get expensive quite quickly when you add them all up!! So, 1 i need to get some extra funds and 2 i need room for all the parts, so its time to clear out and sell off or get rid of all the Opel parts i don't want. I don't have loads (apart from all the stuff im saving for mine which will go with the car one day when i finally sell it) but there are a few little bits that might be useful to some people. Im going to start to list them on the blog https://www.theopelproject.com/parts-for-sale/ so if there is anything you are interested in drop me a message. The price on the blog will just be for the part and not postage and i will be open to sensible offers. Its going to take me a while to find them all and list them so just keep an eye on the blog and i will try and do a few parts at a time. Some NOS and some used and the odd one or two free.

Kneuzer Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 I'll be keeping an eye out on the website. Probably find some stuff later that I may need for my Manta A project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably find some stuff later that I may need for my Manta A project. I will try and do some more over the weekend and next week will tackle the loft and see what i can find up there! Mostly odd bits and pieces from my build. Hopefull the odd thing or two that can help someone or be a spare. I have a lot of bits i have kept for spares for mine just in case! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kneuzer Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 (edited) Yeah, I mostly need some small bits over time. If I'm correct, my Manta is not missing out on parts, but some of them need some replacement. 😁 First thing that comes to mind that I really need is Opel Logo caps for the rostyle rims. I have 4, but one of them is broken. Edited May 29 by Kneuzer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defiantly one of those where you want to buy 2 and keep a spare 🙂 I have a couple of spare centres for the OZ wheels, just in case 🙂 Mostly the reason i have odd bits spare now as i used to just buy any new bits that i could find as i went along and its not until you start putting them on that you find out that you have more than you need 🙂 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was looking through my stash lately. For some reason I have 10 complete rear lights for the Manta A 🙃 only 2 in bad condition. Also the dashboard cover with the wooden finish, I have 3 of those for some reason lol, one of them is mounted in a complete dashboard with even the rare GT/E 220km/h speedometer.

Jessopia74 Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 I need a heater core for an A as mine is looking like it will crumble if I pick it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's something I'm looking for as the wood finish on mine is slowly losing it's wood effect and going black. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its surprising how you end up with quite a few of one thing! I have quite a few rear lights! 2 hours ago, Jessopia74 said: I need a heater core for an A as mine is looking like it will crumble if I pick it up. I will have a rummage as i did have a good one that i was saving for when i swapped the heater housing just in case mine was no good but it was fine so as long as i didnt bit it it should still be in the loft. I will take a look over the next couple of days and let you know if i find it. 32 minutes ago, 1900SR said: That's something I'm looking for as the wood finish on mine is slowly losing it's wood effect and going black. I just took it off mine and cleaned it all up so its all black, saved me trying to find a good one!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's the one with a choke-handle hole. Also the little logo's all still have paint on them, so actually a very clean dahboard cover.

®evo03 Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 Great direction with the Lambretta, great wee machine, have fun. We need a alternative project page 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1900SR Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 At one point Dr Manta had replacement wood effect vinyl to go on the surrounds, but they don't seem to be listed anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a alternative project page 😎 It would be interesting to see what other projects people are up to. Im also doing this one as well https://abarthproject.co.uk/ turns out its very hard to get parts as Fiat stopped making parts ages ago for anything more than a few years old. Makes the old Opel look easy to find bits for 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
