Rusty

Good project, seems that no matter where in the world the car is it ll rust in the same places, good luck with it 

Really good work 

Rare to see them as mint as that... 

The youth of today ..

Where there s a will theres a way , anyone else have a 1.6 diesel cav ??

Cheers greg , I like ur lx thread nicely done 

Yep that s my thinkin on it as well , I ve had a golf mk2 diesel before as daily driver so I know about slow and it didn t bother me 

Not exactly a "minter" but it was cheap and diesel which is rare enough 

Nice one do u have pics of your one , be interested as well in photo of the engine layout mine has a presumably non standard coolant pipe set up , one return pipe has a t piece in it that joins up 2 others , and one connection on expansion tank is blanked off  ,no idea why . I will get a couple pics later

Do u have any experience with them.? I was told that in their day they were popular taxis 

Hi , greetings all . I joined recently as I bought a project 1982 opel ascona 1.6d saloon and have found the site good and helpful and have even bought a good bonnet from a member here . My car has no history ,about 5 owners on the book , mileage that could ve gone round the clock more than once , rust holes all over it , and sounds like a massey ferguson but I love it . I had a '89 astra bought but when this came up for sale I jumped at it . I will put up pics soon
