NOOOO, is an Opel Kadett-D GT/E original with OHC 1.8 injection, Now with Vauxhall stickers put on it

The first front wheel drive Kadett...
I liked it, when I became 18 I bought a 1.2 OHV!

The corrossion was even wors then the Kadett-C.

Looking good, what did you NOT replace?

Lots of work went into that, top quality as well.

Never been a Vauxhall fan though. When I was driving cars of that age it was Alfas for me.
