1970 Opel GT - Purchased around 1991, drove till about 1994 when it suddenly stopped starting. I had no money and could not go through everything needed. A releative used it FOR a storage shed for a few years without my knowledge. Plus someone broke my antenna and dented the front fender a little. It now sits under a cover in the back yard waiting for my love. And LOTS of it!
1974 Opel Manta Luxus - Purchased late last fall. Do lots of minor work to it here and there. Buff the crappy paintjob that the previous owner gave it and it shined up really nice. Brought it to my father's campsight and he proceed to drop a heavy steel tube on the CORNER of the hood of the car. Right on the EDGE! Now I have a very nice looking crappy paint job on a carr that had no dents or body work done on it at all with a ¼" bend in the edge along with the bending of both the top and the side! And it is quite visible from the driver's view.
The paint was not planned for a few years and the rubber was going to be done at that time. Now if this is fixed, nothing will match or look as good as the crappy paint that was on it anyway. If I replace the whole fender, there is no way in hell that I am going to even attempt to put it on the car until the WHOLE car is stripped and ready for the complete paint job.
UGGG!!!! Anyone have a steel building they can sell me? It needs a BIG LOCK on it!
It was VERY difficult to write this without using #$^%#$^ all over the place.
