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

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.
