  • Opel monza a capital investment or loss

    Hello I hope I’m right here and can be helped here. I got first registration from Grandpa the opel monza in early 83. With the 6 cylinder rows engine. Color whites it original condition with extras like the 255 rims original and other original accessories. The car now stood it 15 years the barn and has barely km down. It has to be done after the stand time some. Here now my own question. Opa is convinced that the car will increase it’s worth and I can’t find anything about whether he’s an investment. Can one more help me here. I hope very much.

  • Antenna change Kadett D……..BITTE HELFT ME ! ! ! ! !

    I recently bought a used Kadett D. Unfortunately he has a break in his antenna and I have to replace it. It is installed in the passenger’s code wing. Since I don’t have much money I want to save myself the installation costs that still get to the antenna. I have bought a universal antenna already.

  • Ascona C 1,6S

    Hi @ll, don’t come around to tell me about an experience that brought tears of emotion into my eyes. Since the Ascona is almost the predecessor of the Vectra, I post this here… Today at the TÜV – I was already finished – a red-brown-colored Ascona C 1.6S drove ahead – NULL Rost, 18 tkm (!!!) on the clock, Built 82 with day approval, original condition !!! Roch in the interior like a new car, NULL Verschleiss, even the ancient Michelin winter tires from 1982 on the original rims – the tires were in TOP condition… The car stood 3/4 of his life in a dry barn and was driven twice with the KM stand 18T to the TÜV – today for the third time. The current owner has after almost 15 years of standstill made the mill fit again (oil change, tank cleaned, new candles, exhaust etc.) and used the car now to drive on Youngtimer-Treffen, in 4 years I can’t be oldtimer and I’ve always wanted to wear it again!

  • Kadett C with C20XE – which gearbox?

    Hello, I’ve been reading along at the Opel Forum for a long time, although I call it my own at the moment. Now, however, a plan that has been waiting a long time for its implementation: I would like to have fun buying a Opel Kadett C Coupe. However, the Kadett C car body with Kadett E GSI 16V engine is in my mind. I have read that there is a distributorless variant of this engine that fits very well into the C Kadett. The question now is, which gear is appropriate in relation to the engine speed and torque? Rumor has it always come to my attention that the Omega 2,4l should be equipped with a gearbox that fits either directly to the C20XE or with the help of other original Opel parts can be made suitable. Did anyone ever know more about this topic? Has someone already started such a conversion or even finished it? Would you like to report club meetings or Opel regular tables if someone has information there. Further questions about the applicable braking system come to my mind…. and …. and… I am grateful for any information, suggestion or criticism.

  • Is my cadet E Bj.90 a youngtimer?

    Hello, sorry for the stupid question but I would like to know if my cadet is to be labeled as a youngtimer. I drive a “real” cadet E GSI 16V (key numbers, letter etc.). Really because it is not a 16V conversion. Since there were only 716 copies according to Wikipedia until 1.1.2009 offiziel, the question arises me if this circumstance possibly also contributes to it. I have no idea about that therefore I ask you. Hope that one can explain it to me. Thank you already . Mfg Astra-f-anatic
