Hi! This is my 1982 Opel Kadett 1.2s Luxus
The car is in pristine condition, I bought this from an old man that was the only owner from 1982, never accident or damaged, always indoor, just perfect!
Here where I live there is good weather almost all the year, this car has never seen a snowy road.
There was only one exterior mirror, so I bought an UK driver side mirror for my passenger side! 
I started with some easy work to get a better sporty look
I don't like the chrome stripes around the side windows, so I take it off, sand paper and spray it matt black, I copy this style from GTE!
Only one side ready at moment...
Spring and struts from Germany (TA-Technix -80mm)
A little arch work with my roller fender (not so much needed really)
Note that I only clean the archs not paint it!!!
...and from the cold Germany...
Schmidt Modern Line
8x15 et20 con 195/45
I took these side repeater from Astra G
And ready for some pics... hope you like it
I'm very happy with this car but now I need an engine swap, I hope you will help me with this

| That looks really smart. One question. Why does the CT on your number plate change sides on the front and back plates |
