I think I'll be posting my rebuild project here.. start to build posts here.. and get use to the new environment
Welcome to the forum,
If you want to start a build thread you really need to start your own thread.
This one was created by another member about their gt build.
Creating your own will allow it to be yours and easier for us/people to find and keep up with.
OK Mike,
It's been a year and a few days,
I'm sure the cold weather is on it's way to you if not already there
How's it going up There at Shop De Oppellane?
Hey Bud .
So is it still happening ?
How's the progress coming along?
It's been a while, how are you making out Mike?
Hopefully well and not infected.
Haven't checked in a while now, but had some time today to catch up with opel stuff and have been thinking about your project.
Any updates?
Nice to hear on your success healing always great to hear one is winning
Very Cool !!! I am indeed liking the throttle cable and doing away with the rods that's where my gt't stiffer than I like throttle bothers me not that's it's terrible but just enough to be bothersome.
UUGGHH the wiring, son of a biscuit eater, that's never fun
Great idea with the grease fittings
Keep up the great work it all is looking fantastic
Nice my friend you have done a much better job than I would have.
Now that were dealing with the covid do you have more time for tinkering ?
What's the latest update
Give it time. They broke OpelGT dot com, so people will eventually figure it out or they won't. I am here and not looking back. And I did hit up a good 30 people or so so it's not like no one knows where to come.
well just in case I'm glad I saved all the pics from my gt so I won't have to rely on them always being over there in the event it does crash or dissolve
Well I hope I'm welcome here
I have no problem with hand me downs or advise/being told what to do
Some of the committed members on the old site have been very welcoming and helpful to me as a good friend would And I appreciate that very much
You know who you are
Thank you for all your help support and kindness
That's right a little everyday keeps the opeller blues away.
even if it's just thinking something threw before you pull the trigger on it
Keep up the good work it's coming along nicely
cool beans my friend look forward to pics before you put the engine in the way LOL
How's things coming for you opellane?
Is engine still being built
Did you finish painting the engine bay
woo hoo
We got it all back together no pops no bumps no thumps
Spun the tires on the dirt road for fun the hit the pavement to open it up she scoots along perty goooddd
A little road noisy but the back is empty only the fuel tank at the moment
will probably insulate to help with this
I just hope it's only road noise and not a bearing issue
WOW I deal with phosgene gas quite a bit in my line of work
I have learned over the years to allow the residual refrigerant to bleed off before soldering up refrigerant lines but sometimes it's unavoidable
So I take deep side breathes out of the phosgene zone and hold it as long as I can to get the job done
Dang 1 second later may not have been a miss
Would hate to see an opel get damaged or totaled by a pos
Side note how do I become an opeller and not a Jr. member not that I don't mind feeling younger
Right on My friend Mike,
I had a time trying to figure out how to get the old seal out
But I got creative and cut the ring in the old seal (carefully) so not to score the housing and pried it out with a big screw driver
I was surprised a little how the new one went in with out to much trouble
My son and I started getting it all back under the car yesterday and stopped at the torque tube mount as it didn't seem to want to line up just right on the first attempt.
I then had a mental note pop into my head that it was time to put the tools down and walk away
Just found this forum and thread the rear end looks great
I am as you know redoing my rear end not to the extent of yours
How difficult is it to change the pinion seal?
How's it coming Opelane ?
Did you finish the front end?
the parts look great
