Brocky41's (I dont know why) 1965 Opel Kadett CarAvan

[brocky41]

This was one of those spur of the moment things as ive always loved HA vivas since dad had a 12a rotary powered race car ages ago (will upload pics of that too) this looks pretty similar and i couldnt help get in on this thing - it just reminded me too much of Olliver (top gear fame) and the fact its just a cool looking wagon.

Plans are just to keep it for now - heaps of other projects on the go - i dont no weather or not to rat it up or go original - ive put a couple of pics of wat it should look like down the bottom - should be a sweet little wagon when i get it back on the road. Currently trying to find out all the info on it and specs - apparently is only 40hp and 700kg

Ill put more info and photos up after i take some pics over the week as it only just got here today.

I borrowed a couple of pics from the opel site - hope you guys dont mind and thanks.

Heres a couple of pics from home on the weekend - havent done anything yet.

Funny story - got an email from the original owner today saying that when the truckie drove it out the drive the mufler fell off in the driveway.

She asked if i wanted it sent buy i replied "if it rusted off - probably not work sticking back on. (explains the exhaust hanging down)





Also....


Heres dads viva - pretty modifies for the early ninety's - ive gotta get more info on this thing but i know it was 12a and had some kind of double shock setup in the back and still transverse leaf in front.
