I think most of you know this Kadet GTE it was Bens and he sold it to
Stu. But stu was moving house so couldnt do anything with it witch is
why i bough it...Looked pritty good on the outside but when i started
to strip away lets say the old dear was in need of a lot of tlc lots..
iv just got the engine and gearbox just out the ill take wings spoilers
and the tailgate off next. but the tailgate is really bad id say probly
f--ked but let see if my mate tony can work a miracle or to ill try to
post so pics....its going to be a long and painfull few months lets
see how it goes ...will need all of youre know how on this lads wish me look Very Happy

These always go behind the sus tops, mine has been welded up on one side. this looks pretty good really so hope the rest is as solid as the front. Cool

Derek, good luck with the resto, nice to see the car being given the attention it deserves big grin

As you'll see from the history binder, I spent a small fortune on welding a couple of years ago so it'll be interesting to see how that work looks now!
