Nice little "Kieman" Coupe' - I see it has the 'gills' behind the rear side windows .... and still has its Rallye Long Range driving lights too.

KillerTexasGT - Rodney Killingsworth from RodsOpelWerks in Texas got me screen rubbers for my Red & Black 1967 Rallye Kadett.

The front suspensions are similar to GT ones - more similar to 1.1L GTs ... but not quite the same. There are several different lower ball joints with differing tapers and sizes plus the steering arms and ball joints for the rack also vary.
They were continuously up-graded from 1964 through to the GT - getting stronger as time went by. Even the disc brake calipers are different as are the spindles they bolt to. You can 'up-grade' to GT parts as the GT parts from the A-arms on out do bolt on as a complete unit. Cannot mix and match though - GT spindles and calipers are bigger where the caliper bolts on.

Love to know the VIN and engine number for your Kadett Rallye - mine is in another post.
