This is a beautiful and noble little car, congratulations. Please keep us posted as you progress.

It's nice to have two Kadett A threads on the site at once.

I can post them this evening when I get home. I have about 5 more sets of those Otto, but a different part number.

Question Detail carb-side engine pic

. . . thanks for the earlier engine bay pics . . . would you post one of the intake-side of the engine without the aircleaner . . . future reference, "A"s, in original state, are very rare.

That is one sweet car. I wouldn't mind getting a Kadet/Ascona/Manta into my garage to sit along side the GT. I don't think the other half would allow it
