Martel71GT · October 12, 2016 at 1:53 PM

its been awhile since I have posted, drove the opel all over eastbay area ri and mass over the summer. Started body prep work, just ordered steinmetz flares, air dam, side skirts, left and right side seat braces. Next will be floor pans, rims tires then body shop. Looking at esm 15 inch deep dish. Paint unsure as of now

I heard that VW beetle floor pans will give you a place to start from.

Huge swap meet at Stafford Springs speedway this Sunday! Don't expect to find any Opel parts though.

i only drove my GT a couple of times. Been using the Senator as a daily and now the ;72 wagon.

I talked to gil from opel gt source, he said that alot of people found success with the 64 to 65 full length floor pans. I tried to make it to a few shows this year but havent been able to. Wish we had a bigger following for the opels here in the northeast

Our Winter meeting will be late January in Walpole. I'll post it when the date is set. Let me know if you need any parts.

awesome count me in! As for parts, biggest thing I need now is a driver seat.

All I could find was a passenger side seat.

I do have these for sale though.

if you still have these by the time I'm ready to put seats back in I wouldn't mind checking if they would fit.

Gil at OGTS still has the Steinmetz flares made in the US. I believe he also has a mold for the Manta GT/E front airdam...which may or may not be what you are looking for. But it's one option to consider. [SIZE=1]shareit vidmate[/SIZE]

Uhm, I am pretty sure that whatever he was going to do, he most likely already has done, this thread is from 5 years ago. Nice to see someone post though, been a while since I had seen any activity here.

Gil does have the Manta GTE airdam. (I just bought one for my Mancona wagon conversion)
