Talking new to me 69 opel!!

Hi there everyone, just bought my first 69 opel GT and got a second one, a 71 GT as well, but for parts. Alittle about myself, i am 23 and i live outside Waterloo, Ont. on a farm. My daily driver is a 2001 subaru forester and i also drive a 1984 toyota 4x4 for fun. I have been very intrested in the opel GT since i was 16, i was unable to buy the 70 GT i was looking at because of insurance. Now, I have a alot of big plans for this little car and they will start with a full restoration. The engin and trans have already been rebuilt and ran, looking for a stronger axel swap with disk breaks, ITB intake, custom headers and exaust, custom suspention setup, body mods(i love the body, but it just needs a little updating) full cage, and whatever elts the walet can handel this winter lol. so anyways, looking forward to meeting some fellow opel owners this comming spring.

Sounds great, welcome to the site! Any issues you run across, probably have already been discussed and can be found using the search function. Good luck on your car and post some pictures!

If everything seems to be going well you have obviously overlooked something.

Check the Vintage Numbers on your 1969 Opel GT. Is it a 1900cc or 1100cc?
