    Hello Everyone!
    I'm writing to ask a serious question.
    I've noticed that there isn't much range in availability of parts for us. There are but a handful of companies that offer a breakaway from the traditional Opel designs (both exterior body kits and interior "upgrades"), and even fewer that provide quality replacement OEM style interior parts. For this reason, I've begun helping several of my friends by fabricating parts for them. Some are custom "one-off's", while others are recreating parts no longer produced, such as the spare tire and fuel tank covers for the Kaddett A Station Wagons. I have been giving a lot of thought to starting a business that would cater to our unique vehicles both in the faithful recreation of original interior parts as well as allowing the freedom to change things up if so desired by the individual.
    I am able to handle any project large or small and employ a variety of techniques based on the need, from hand layup and vacuum forming (for custom, one-off applications) to VIP, or vacuum infusion process (for replicating original parts consistently).

    So, I want to know if you, my fellow Opelers, stateside and overseas, have a need or desire for such services to be available.

    Thank you all for your time and consideration!

    Cheers!
