Greetings from Belgium
 

I'll just keep it short :)


My name is David, and i'm from a small country called Belgium. I own a 1973 Opel kadett B Coupe

Which looked like this when i bought it:

Its beeing restored to its former glory (including its whopping 1100cc, 55 HP engine :p)



I've taken an interest to metal shaping, what you guys do is amazing! So i'm here to learn how to do it as well... I posted my first welding in the beginner projects section :)



Greetings,
David

Welcome David,

I remember those! An army buddy had one when we were in tech school. Lots of fun to drive. His got in a hailstorm and looked like someone worked it over with a ball pien hammer.

Hi David! There are other Belgian guys on here I think. I am from the UK. Welcome to the site!.

It's really peculiar... as far as i know the kadett was never big in the US. Yet alot of you have personal experience with them :p

Its sad to say i've never driven one myself. I broke mine down pretty much when i got it. However... i was a passenger in one a while back :p


@David

Europe has representation here i've seen. The fact that you are from the UK has been made known to me. The accent on a certain DVD is unmistakable :p


now i'll get cracking and post that beginners work i promissed.

Jinx, welcome and thanks for the introduction. One of the guys that I worked with had several Opel Kadetts and GTs that he used as daily drivers. Looking forward to seeing more pictures of your project. Thanks for joining us.

Gegroet zuiderbuur.

Succes met de Kadett en kom maar op met die plaatjes :D

Hoi Gert-jan. De pics staan intussen bij de beginner projects :)

Ik heb nabij amersfoort in soest nog trainingen moeten geven een tijdje terug :)





GT's are also really nice cars. But also a good bit more expensive. They're among my favorite cars though ;-)
