[Nsx] Opel Kadett D from Portugal

Hi!

I've been hanging around for a long time but I've never show my car to you people.

It's an 5 door Opel Kadett D from 1981, Berlina version with 1.3S OHC engine and 4 speed gearbox. Interiors all in black.
It have been my first car and I love it

This is when I've bought it, back in Feb 2002

Then I've decided to give it a new look, and it goes like this

Smoothed rear with 3rd stop light, smoothed rear doors, 14' Vectra A wheels with 185/55 tyres, rear lights painted in red, white front repeaters, 60 mm lowered, Corsa A (Nova) mirrors, 5 speed F15 CR gearbox and so on.

Then the engine was fully repared, with some goodies, a gift from my mecanic

For now the car is stoped for almost a year but in a near future the project will star again. I'll keep you in touch.
Hope you like it, and sorry my english.

Cheers
Bruno

Your car looks great NSX!

It would look great at any show you go to and even better when over here in england for a show! The engine looks great?. It does not matter how long it takes to build. It took me 9 years! Keep up the stunning work. And glad you let us see some pictures of it smile
