My son checked out the floorboards etc and they are rotted through. I have some pictures somewhere that were taken. It is a 1.9 engine. If not maybe Roy Bell still has the ones that were sent to him. From what my son said, this is a "Donor" car. This is one of my sons that grew up with my 74 Rallye, so he does know a little about Opels. Helped me pull many an engine and we'd swap rear ends for the Fla trip twice a year.
