Update for those following:
Charles pulled the engine out... drum roll please... the block is TOAST!
Well that sucks, good thing blocks are still cheap and plentiful so it's basically a matte of finding a decent one and picking it up

Classic cars are rarely exactly what they seem to be, my latest one was better in some respects than I expected and a bit worse in others as the PO's chosen mechanic seems to have had work ethics that would have gotten him fired if it was my shop.
It's easy to get discouraged, unfortunately there's no guarantee that abandoning it and buying another one will be a better experience unless you buy a known good car from a reputable person. Most of us can't afford to buy a mint condition unrestored car or one restored by Keith Lundholm or whatever so most of the time we've got to work with what we've got.
Sorry to hear you got burned and kudos for sticking with what is a very unusual GT, and of course to Charles and whoever else is pitching in

I'm the poster formerly known as "ggl" on the OpelGT.com site for those of you who are migrating from that board and for those that don't I'm from Norway in northern Europe and while I'm currently without a classic Opel as I've migrated over to British cars I have an Opel as my daily driver.
I still hate RallyBob and I still don't care much for smilies
