    I just noticed one in town under a carport. Been there a while and looks complete.

    There's more of these cars around than people realize. Most are off the road and hiding in barns and garages (if they're lucky) or rotting in fields...

    Holding out on us, huh? Looks good, certainly a lot more love than most Opel's will ever see. Sure wish I still had the weather from the time of those photos. Still got the Buick?

    Funny how fast the shop can fill up.....isn't it?

    Best,
    Kelly

    One of my room mates in university had a 75 Opel Manta, occasionally, I'll see an Opel GT out on the road but I can't remember the last time I saw a Manta.

    Maybe 5 more? One for each of the 12 steps in the program for the addiction?

    Looking at these photos, I swear I can hear ELO playing in the background.
    That's a lot of work, you definitely aren't do this for the money. When you want more orphans for your collection, I'll tell you where there is a stash in Texas.
