Actually this was not a total restoration, it was more or less nice one winter fix for very decent car.
Short history is that this car has been sold 1979 to state of New York and first owner moved to California 1981 with car. Second owner also from California bought car 2004 and he sold it to me at end of year 2012. I got it in container to Finland/Europe at spring of 2013 and drove it one summer. Last winter car got light restoration. Idea was save as much original as possible. It got new paint, old original was destroyed hot California sun and same reason also it needed new interior. I also did some other little things here and there.
Anyway, now it is in nice condition and good summer driver for my wife.
Very nice. I like the Opel GT as well, had one way back when I was in my 20's.
Yes, a blast from the past. I learned to drive on a used Opel when I was 17, many, many years ago. Didn't last long, caught on fire and burned to a crisp. I survived, the car didn't.
Great job. Very impressive. I am sure that your wife appreciates it. I am curious what you did with the radio 2012-2014?
Thank you, it is nice little car and my wife likes it although it is manual trans. Yes, she has driven 16 years manual trans daily driver before we bought automatic trans daily driver :-)
Did you mean that Alpine? It is another colleague Mercedes - Benz 190.
I am sure that your wife appreciates it. I am curious what you did with the radio 2012-2014?
