Very cool project. Nice to see that the older Opels are appreciated as well as the GTs, Mantas and such. I like your choice of wheels. I have a 13X6 set of ATS that I got from a friend in Belgium. They will be going on my wife's Sportwagon (Ascona A Voyage as you know it) Keep up the good work and keep us posted as to your progress!!

Great car to build. My first Opel was a 69 Kadette Rallye. You are doing great work on the body. Love your choice of wheels and tires.

Keep the work going. Soon you will be driving a great car.

Very nice rims, and a neat car to fix up.
It's just my opinion, but shouldn't you have bigger (wider) tires on those rims? And the size you have chosen will throw the speedometer reading off by about 13%. According to my tire calculator, your speedometer will show 100 km/h, but you will actually be doing 87.4 km/h (if the stock tire is a 155/80R13, which I think is right). A better size would have been a 225/55-13, if such a thing exists, or at least a tire with a wider section closer to 205 to 225 mm. The 175 mm section tire is simply too narrow for an 8 inch wheel IMHO

You sound like my father. hehe..

I like tires with stretch.. but yes,bigger tires would be better. but its not always the best thing is the coolest..
