    I have been looking through the threads for how to remove fender skin without damaging it. Can someone point me in the right direction ? I have the usual rust on the fender in front of the A pillar and structure damage behind it. Also would like an idea of what grade or thickness of the metal under the skin. Thanks.

    Hi, seen you kind comments on my car, Thank you.
    This story on this car is,
    It was bought new by a dutchman who lived and worked in UK, but he bought it in the Netherlands and ordered it in RHD so he could use it in UK.
    Now as you know all Opel cars in UK were badged as Vauxhall's, this model being called the Astra mk1.So this car being an Opel and RHD was most likely destined for the Irish Market, Ireland being a RHD country also but sold mostly Opel badged cars.
    So, really it has finally come to the place it was destined for.
    Oh , and this model is called the Kadett D and was built in Germany.
    This is a rare model on the roads now, this being the only one registerd as being on the road in Ireland, there is only one on the road in UK(Astra 1.6SR), and only 7 on the roads in Germany as opposed to the more powerful GTE version where there are a couple of thousand still in use.

    Hey, I just reviewed a thread and saw your comment..."anyhow, in one of the early pics, i saw a green kadette wagon (looked to be '69-70) in very good shape. does anyone know if it is available?" If you are still interested, I think the car in question is being auctioned on EBay.

    I looks to be in pretty good shape and the reserve has been met. Jerry
