I go to a lot of Cruise nights to show off my GT's. A few weeks ago one of the spectators and his son asked quite a few questions about Opels and GT's in particular. He originally came from Portugal where he use to race Opels and he had a keen interest in getting back into Opels and his son, not quite 16 yet was overly enthused about any car.

More of the Ascona

Some pics of the new Ascona project

Posted 07-27-2008 at 01:18 AM by oldopelguy

Just posting some pics of the new Ascona. Outside pics and driver's side front and rear floor, which is the only interior floor rust. Passenger's side looks new, strangely enough.
