Please post technical questions in the appropriate Technical Forum, unless it is very specific to the Ascona.
Been a while since I have owned a Opel. I ran Manta's for many years and sold my last one about 10 years ago. Had to change jobs a few months ago and now I am looking at purchasing another for commuter service. Possibly looking at a 1975 1900 2dr and was wondering if there were anything I need to...
My 1974 2 door Ascona never had a radio and the dash is uncut. I have a couple of questions. What size are the stock speakers and where are they located. I don't plan on cutting the dash. I just want to put two speakers in the back deck, an amplifier in the trunk and run a cable to the console...
What is the best air cleaner option for an Ascona after installing a Weber carb? I understand there are clearance issue when using an adapter. It seems the only other option is to use a Weber air cleaner. Any suggestions on what to do?
I remember seeing a handful with wood graining sides on the road along time ago but wonder if any have survived and if they were factory applied or dealer applied. Could it be had on Ascona 2dr sedans? :cool: 'Town and Country' Ascona Wagon. :D Also could Kadett wagons? 1971 brochure:
Debating on getting a metal grill for my 2 door Ascona to replace the plastic one my car came with. Any opinions or input?
Here's my idea for some trunk panels. There will be a lockable stow away compartment lined with felt or other soft material. Everything except the wheel wells will be covered with carpeting. I plan on making a cover for the spare tire also. I will probably mount an amplifier to the rear most...
Does anyone know all the parts needed to do a complete gasket and seal replacement on a 2 door Ascona Sedan? Specifically, how much chrome and black trim (do I need both?), how many connectors and which ones, which gaskets and seals are must have's and which are not. How many mounting clips do I...
While discussing the body and paint work I'll eventually want done on my car I was told that in order for this to be properly done the windows need to come out. I was also told that I would need to start looking for the window gaskets (front and rear). Does anyone know if I can reuse what I...
Why would Opel import the 2dr 71-73, not in 74 and then bring it back in 75? Why omit that model for only that year? You'd think that they wouldn't bring them back at all like the 4drs? Were there 4dr Asconas in Europe in 75?
Does anyone know if there is a locking gas cap available that will fit a 1974 Opel 1900/Ascona?
Does anyone know of a source for the little plastic clips that hold the chrome trim on the wheel arches of a Manta or Ascona? ( I believe there are 8 on each wheel) Also does anyone know if the rear wheel-arch chrome strip on a Manta would fit an Ascona?
I found this Front bumper in my attic. Its still in the original packaging. I have no idea what model or year this is from, or any idea of its value. Any information would help. http://i436.photobucket.com/albums/qq84/Electric_beard/IMGP0203.jpg ...
Hi,Folks! Is here any iterest for new colored or white Ascona windshields?? I like to make a reproduction here in germany, and need some more orders to make a price near 150€ each...
Well this looks and sounds good. Anyone out there seen it in person? eBay Motors: Opel (item 290273094795 end time Nov-15-08 14:37:54 PST)
Anyone done any upgrades to the tail light sockets on the Asconas? I've had to change a lamp a couple times this year and as the sockets don't come out without disassembling the entire unit it turns out to be many times more work than need be. The original socket/reflector housing has a pretty...
Hello, from Germany! Is there anyone in the US, who has an overview about the number of Opel 1900 Station Wagon still alive??? bye
Erick sent me the Euro version badging some time ago, so I finally got around to changing it and thought I'd post . . . WAS/IS:
Anybody who knows where to buy complete carpet for a 73 Ascona A?
Well, in typical fashion for me, I'm finally getting around to a proper introduction for the 1975 Ascona that I put together for my daughter Shelby. I originally bought the car from Scott (Sportwagon75) to build into a hillclimb car. Upon bringing it home, Shelby decided she was really diggin'...
I have placed an ad in the "Parts Wanted" section, but, thought I'd post out here to get a little better reaction. I'm looking for the "detent", "kick-down", or "passing gear" cable for the 71-75 automatic Manta/Ascona. I need two, but, one would do for right now. I know it'd be a miracle to find a...
