    Here's a link to Uwe's site with some detailed pics of his Kadett C front suspension adaptation for a GT.

    Twin Shock Towers

    Those shock towers look familiar, but the suspension is a little different. Thanks Uwe for the help and inspiration to change to independent front suspension on the GT, like you said it's a GO-KART in the handling department.

    I moved Otto's posts with links to Uwe's sites to the appropriate "Performance" Forums.

    Hey Rodney, those shock tower mounts look almost, well, sexy! In a weird, Opel sort of way.

    shock towers

    Yeah the same thought crossed my mind, but I didn't want the GT to go Topless so I put the Bonnet back on when the work was done.
