Re: 1971 Opel Kadett build
Build update.
At a stand still at the moment.
Battling with the license department. Been 5 weeks now, still trying to get the car in my name.
They registered the car in the previous owners name again, and what a mission to get that reversed and into my name.
Now having issues with the VIN tag.

Update:
Still battling with the VIN plate.
Started looking for parts to keep me busy in an attempt to not loose hope and interest in the project.

Re: 1971 Opel Kadett build
Update
VIN plate saga has finally been sorted. I will have the VIN in the next few days.
I have started stripping the car in preparation to start the build, and to my disappointment, body is not as good as originally thought. Some parts of the body has body filler up to 10 mm thick.
Going to take more than originally thought to get her on the road.
Sadly, I have to sell my GM Ranger to fund the additional work required.
