Major Kudos!! On winning the Valvoline, Underhood Appearance Award!

That's a huge feather in your David K.'s hat.

What can I say,... under hood details is as important as the rest of the cars
overall appearance. It can make, or break an award given.

You deserve it! Your Ascona is so off grid, exactly what I'm shooting for.

Well done, and Congrats, David! That is one sharp looking Opel, and the modifications you've done are trick without going overboard. Very classy way to spread the good Opel word, and I'm glad you were recognized for your work. Good luck on the repaint and keep us posted!
