from the specs it dosent seem like a bad first car, not too fast, not a total death trap, not bad on gas. am i completely off base with this thought?
Welcome to the site kdouze!
Most stock parts are still some what easy to find..sort of .. thank goodness
for OGTS.
One thing the 69-70 rear axle bgrs. are impossible to find but you can always slap a later model diff. under the car.
The number one problem is rust pay close attention to the rocker rails.
Your right its a simple car easy to work on unlike the modern techno-nightmares. Good luck and post pictures of you and your brothers progress in the Opel adventure.
