quote author=topi board=FSW thread=40982 post=584792 time=1211898115]
My much loved Opel has to go. It was built from a standard 1.2 Kadett Special, with all my money and time piled into it. By no means is it a show car, but it's deffinately a weapon!
Fully road legal, taxed and MOT
Body
1978 Opel Kadett C 'limo'
Bright orange (paint isn't great.... 1978 car)
No rust
6 point bolt-in cage with harness bar and rear diagonal
Englemann copy mirrors
Engine
C20XE 2.0 'redtop' engine
Yamaha R1 carbs on custom Bogg Brother manifold. Jetted and set up by Bogg Brothers. Nice Induvidual cone filters
Peter Lloyd Rallying exhaust manifold
Manta dizzy system
Hipo exhaust system from downpipe back (Austrian)
R1 fuel pump
Manta 5spd Getrag gearbox and shortened Manta prop
Manta rad with electric fan
Astra oil cooler with fancy braided lines
Made 160bhp at the wheels (Considering it weighs around 800kgs... that's very fun haha)
Axle
Manta B axle WITH LSD. Diff is very very very good, drives great and locks up whenever you need it to.
Suspension
Spax adjustable shocks
500lbs front springs
300lbs rear springs
Brakes
Brand new Manta calipers, pads discs and hoses
Manta rear drums
Wheels
I've got a full set of 7x13" ET5 Revolutions, but the wide axle means they wont fit on the back. So I've got a pair of 6x13" 100+ mesh wheels with nice dish, and a pair of Midland wheels 5spokes.
Inside
No rear seats due to roll cage, but rear is roughly carpeted to look a bit better.
Matching Cobra classic looking buckets
Astrali wheel and boss
Custom centre console with Autoguage water temp gauge, fuel pump switch and rad fan switch.
Big rev counter
Luke 4point drivers harness
Sparco 3point passenger harness
Bad bits:
Paint isn't spot on, but I was never bothered about that really.
Exhaust sometimes vibrates on chassis leg.
This car is soon to be featured in Total Vauxhall magazine!
6,000 GBP / 7,500 Euro. o.n.o

Asconas and Kadetts are so cool. Possibly nearly as cool as mk2s

My best mates brother has one of these in 1.2 form its a minter for what he paid 
Just uses it as his daily runner as a first car. Got it for £200 iirc.
He is just sorting a few bits of the bodywork at the moment and has got a set of alloys for it now (from a manta or something I think. I really like it. The boot on them is massive, we fitted in a whole 26" mtb without taking it apart 
Drives supercharged Tec with torque

uber cool, tbh id rather have one of these than a mk2. Also been showin pictures of my dads uncles old one and always wanted one.
One of my mates is selling his aswell, awsome car. And built to the highest standards, would of been a piece of piss for him as he can vouch for the 4x4 cosworth nova fame!
