Dallas, I just wanted to give you a huge THANK YOU. Why? Well I have been slowly getting my 71' GT all ready and restored. Oh yeah, I am the guy that has the 2.3 turboed engine from an 88 Thunderbird in my orange 71...we met briefly at an Atlanta Opel Meet at Gene's a year or so back.

Anway, I am finally at the stage where I have all of the engine, suspension, electrical etc...done so that I could go ahead and save my pennies to get the paint job and the interior done. While I will have the paint job done by a pro, after seeing the custom mods you did to the interior of your Spyder, I am REALLY psyched to do that too. While I am sure that it will take some practice, I am quite handy and your 123's of do it yourself with the Great Stuff and the fiberglassing. I am CERTAIN I could do the same.

Sometimes it just takes a little bit to open someones eyes, and here I was boo hoo'ing over how much it was probably going to cost me to have the interior done, and you have absolutely inspired me.

So, THANK YOU for being innovative, and sharing it with the rest of the Opel Lovers here. You have unknowingly saved me money, and the end result will be something custom that I did. Dude, you rule.
