@@GT1900garage A 71 GT, Orange, Manual.Before too long, I'll have a place where I can start the restoration. Lots of body work, so I am learning a lot from you.
You are a real master,a very,very good craftsman,I envy you for your skills Greatings from Germany where your GT was built I even know men who worked in the factory those days
@@GT1900garage i know people who worked in the plant in Kaiserslautern,where the motor was built and the front and rear axle,the car was built in Rüsselsheim i suppose
Yeah the engine was under the bulkhead, that is why the valve cover is halve high and low. I think he blow oil too over the valves the rings are bad now. Oh the engine was with hydraulic tappet like the Rekord D. To set the valves you don´t need a feeler gauge.
Kyllä on. aika selkeä mielikuva, tarkka värikoodi vielä hakusessa. En sitä vielä ole julkistanut koska tässä on vielä hetki duunia ennen kuin auto menee maalattavaksi. Mieli voi muuttua.. Mutta on yksi niistä jotka esiteltiin jaksossa #19
Einfache Arbeit, ich habe eine ziemlich gute Dokumentation zur Verfügung. Ich spiele die Videos einfach rückwärts ab, wenn ich mit dem Zusammenbau des Autos beginne 😅
You’ve done all this by yourself, while filming! Excellent job and really enjoyable!
Thank you for your comment. Yes, filming makes extra spice to the restoration work...
Beautiful car!
Thanks for the comment..Yes indeed!
Thank you for documenting this process. Will follow til the end. Will do the same restoration one day with my dad’s old Opel
Thank you for watching, many episodes to follow...so far we have only began...What classic Opel you have?

Thank you very much! But still more grinding than welding...Cool, did your mate worked with GTs also?

Hi, sorry for delay...This car was build in Bochum.
nice video as always I'm with you with all your efforts. Cool!💪
Bye 🇮🇹
Thanks for comment 💪
Must have been quite a task, those animations of the parts walking away from the car 😮 good job though !
Thanks for the comment, It of course take some effort, but not as much as one might expect. Besides, it is fun addition to work with the car itself.
Subscribed! Very big Opel GT fan. Very much looking forward to your process and progress.
Thanks for the comment. Next episode will have some stop motion body work...
Thanks for the nice video. I think that your GT is an GTJ. Black bumpers and less chrome.
Yes, it is. Apparently 1972 model, registered late 1971

When time is right I may need to build a test bench for engine to check it running before putting it in...
How did you disconnect the steering column from the front suspension?
Let me get you back with this one... I need to go to the garage and check was it only slot and locking screw !!!
@@GT1900garage
I figured it out, I was able to get it out and off. Got the brake pedal and gas pedal out. I think I’ll tackle the engine next.
OK, good. Let me know if you need more help with small details...
Great work.
Body is in very bad condition (((
Hope can find way to fix it, this car deserves at least 400,000kms more
Yes, it require lot of work, but still very much doable...just stay tuned for next episodes..
Onko jo ajatusta tulevasta väristä?
