Has been a busy year! GT was laid up for 6 months.
Any plans to come to France this year?
See if this link works by copy and pasting.

After a six month contract in the UK this summer I'm back in the Dordogne and training to become a panel beater, accident repair blokey. What I've always wanted to do really.
So the Opel's going to get a new wheel arch replacement panel on passenger side and integral paint job hopefully in the new year. At least I'll be able to do it properly with help from colleagues. There's a chance I can take it to the college and work on it as part of my course so the small dents in the door I'll be able to work out with mallet and dolly set and the sills with the dent puller. Jobs are so much easier if you have the right tools. Really looking forward to getting it painted professionally.
Rear silencer and electric window commands are on my xmas wish list. Silencer I've sourced but the central e window commands are proving illusive.
Good health, enjoy xmas.
Cheers, Rich.

She's in the Paint shop!!! Well excited!! Primed her today. Managed to form new inner and outer wheel arches which took hours of head scratching and a few scrapped attempts. But the result's gonna be bang on. Hope to post some photo's in the coming weeks.
If anyone's interested to see what's available in France. This is the site I use over here the most. There are some solid Opel Ascona's about and even 2 x 1600 diesels although they are on some French colonial island. I quite fancy the 2.0LS but the paint for the GT just cleaned me out. I'd be happy to help if anyone wants a decent, unwelded body or parts car.

Andy, It'd be great to see a MK2 troop down here. I know the area well and could get some decent prices on digs and know all the places to eat and drink, visit etc...In fact, if you're happy under canvas then you could camp here. If you're an alcoholic, come, if you're a vegetarian, don't! Just kidding!
Keep 'em rollin'
Rich.
