This is awesome!
Good work on the fenders, they look oem.

Couple recent photos on level ground, suspension all settled.

This is very cool, love the color and how simple you've kept it!

latest pick from last summer, removed the bumber overrides and switched back to rectangular headlights for a more cleaner look.





Also finished the interior for now, new floormat and restored long center console. The console was a mess requiring a lot of classfiber to reinforce the tired structure



Lately I've been refining the front suspension and steering, power steering box from opel omega (cadillac catera), new fabricated tie rods with spherical bearings and heim joints and roll center adjusters to correct the geometry







Also some procress with the new engine, but this has been super slow

[Tltane]

You can newer have too many sets of classic wheels, right?



The new set without tires is 8/9X16, old set is 7/8X16, going to swap the tires for more stretch, will be 205/50 on the 9" and 185/50 on the 8"

what does it look like now, with the changed front suspension

Same as before, but hopefully the handling will be better now when the geometry is correct. I still need to install adjustable top mounts to adjust more caster as the steering was pretty nervous.

It looks so clean on those wheels. Good looking car

[Tltane]

Not the best of photos, but here's one with the new wheels. Suspension still needs some tweaking but it's getting there.

Looks like a Opel Rekord C. Especialy the nose. Love cars like this

So nice! Can you post a straight on picture of the rear of the car?

Perfect! Don't tweak a thing!
