Hi guys, I've just bought my first mk1 GTE and was wondering what kind of money I'd be looking at paying for a tailgate and a front crossmember, would prefer genuine GM parts, any ideas? Thanks for any replays!

There's a few tailgates knocking around at the moment but you'll struggle with a cross member.

I don't think a cross member would be that difficult to make thought.

Cheers, what kind of prices do you think would be reasonable?

Mint still in black primer tailgate £200

Used but great condition - painted bit of tidying £75?

Great, what about a complete front, still in black primer?

£200-£300+ if you can find one mate for the full front GTE.

There's a company called Opel Classic Parts in Germany who are your best bet. Trouble is, shipping is extortionate.

I've got a full front for my GTE but it took months to find and it's not technically a GTE front although only I (and everyone reading this) would know once it's on.

Thanks mate that's great, I'll post some pictures of my mk1 soon, needs a bit of work but not too bad! Got to say the silver mk1 you've done looks awesome, top job there mate fair play!

The bloke selling these in Germany only lives down the road (40km).
