Well I finally purchased a kadett rallye. I picked up the car and towed it home this week. Probably another two year project!!
Question for those who know: are the tail lights the same on the rallye as the regular kadett? anyone have some fog lights for sale? Thanks.

Kadett Parts

The tail lights are the same, there is a European style of taillights that are different that I can post a picture of later if you want to see what they look like. Also I can get you the rubber for the Glass if you are interested, maybe the light also out of Germany, PM me if interested I will get you the prices, you can send me a list of the parts you need or would like and I will get you prices on them.

Another Little Darling!

Nice one Tom! I see by the side markers it is a couple of years newer than my '67 Rallye.
There is a constant change of tail light as the years progress and at least two different types of front driving lights. The size is the same and reflectors interchange - the actual mounting brackets on the back are the difference.
The early ones have a diecast part with a mounting hole across the the rear while the later ones have a thread sticking out the back.

Here are pics of some of the tail lights:
