Opelboys Opels :>

[Opelboy]

Please excuse the poor english in the following post.

Hey! I thought i'd post some pics of my old opels here, since they have so much in common with the Holdens :>

For starters, Opel Rekord E is the ''basic'' upper mid-range Opel made from '78 to '86 with a big facelift '83. :yeah:


Now, the Opel Commodore C is basicly the same car as Rekord, only it has a rougher chassis and the front end of it's bigger brother Senator.

The Commodore C is more or less the same as Holden Commodore VB, if i'm not mistaking, whereas the later holden models are similar to the Opel Senator. (distinguished by the rear quarter window behind the rear doors.


But now over to my cars. I'm warning you, tho: THESE ARE WORKS IN PROGRESS!

I'm gonna start with my main focus and ''pride'' *cough* At least it will be so whatever decade i finish it.

My '78 Opel Rekord 3 door Caravan

It's a rust bucket of dimensions... But i'm doing my best to fix it.:wax:

I'm going to modify it somewhat with new interiors, a newer 16 valve 2.0l from Opel and chassis from Opel Commodore.
The government is very strict when it comes to modifying cars here in Norway, so you can't really slam any engine in it without documentation...

a little mock-up just for fun :yeah:

Warning: WORK IN PROGRESS.

This is my second car, a Rekord E 2 door '82

This one is just waiting for me to finish with the first one, but i managed to lower it (black&decker) and put on a little plastic.

As said, it's basicly just collecting dust in a corner

ARGH! Someone covered it with Ford parts!!!
I'm gonna have to clean i toroughly before i use it the next time. eeeeewwwwwww.:supersad: :ranting: :flame:

I actually hope to put a V8 in it. But it's gonna be hard to get it street legal :bang: :realangry

I'm sorry to say, but Opel only has a very few V8 cars :cry:

And thats about it, actually :bang:

On Trade ME NZ there is a wagon similar to the VB with a factory 350 and there is an Opel senator for sale also(VN style).

Hey, those are pretty cool. Certainly a lot different from the Aussie versions. (We only have 4 door sedans, and Wagons with 4 doors.)

It would be cool to see one of those in Australia.
