Not for the faint of heart...

Well i know it is a shame but this car was toast anyway... This was my parts car i had for a little while, well this is what it looked like after a night of to much to drink a bunch of guys and a hammer... I DO have a some what reasonable excuse though... my apartment complex people said i had to get the car out of there by the next day or they were towing it.. i had no way to move it so we did a number on it before it was gone for good...

the car was so rusted it wasnt salvagable, all lower fenders were made of bondo, there was no floor at all...

Its even hard for me to look at

I am appalled at such gratuitous violence twards a defenseless, handicaped, and elderly opel. You should be ashamed of yourself!

First a tranny, and now a whole car?????? You are a menace to Opels everywhere!!!! Oh well.....chalk up another GT that went to the great highway in the sky.
I agree with Gene, you should have at least taken those rims off.Hope you saved any "buckskin" interior pieces that werent destroyed, you could have Evil-bayed em and bought yourself some more beer!! Just stay away from the Opels next time you and your buddies get lit up!

I did save the bumperettes and the wheels but they have been sold. As for interior the seats were junk, but i do have a center council, sun visors,1 kick panel, the rear rectangle piece under the spare tire cover, the piece of wood the spare sits on, and the door panels. I striped it down to nothing before they took it dont worrie, in my second post when i said there was still good parts, i was looking at the cowl plate and the front bumper suport. It was kind of funny becasue it had no back wheels and the first tow truck they brought was a pull behind so they had to get a flat bed for it.
