Thank YOU all for watching this project on my channel. I started to make CZcams diary for the project for couple of my friends, and did not expect it to interest other people as well. Super happy for the community that has appeared to support and help me with the WORLDS RUSTIEST Opel GT. Currently working with 2.2E engine, and rear wheel arches. Hopefully next episode will be out soon. Thanks f...

Project Opel GT 1971 #23 : Weatherproof homemade roof vents ?
zhlédnutí 24KPřed 6 měsíci
Almost 100 hours spent to this roof venting. Hopefully it will work as it should and this beautiful, yet prone to rust, vent grill will last another 50 years. Needles to say, I would say that during this month I have created a love/hate relationship to this panel. The inner beam with vent channels will be welded in when I receive the weld-thru glue.
Most difficult fix ever : Project Opel GT 1971 #22
zhlédnutí 28KPřed 7 měsíci
This episode was difficult to labor. The roof venting panel is so complicated to fabricate, and surprisingly enough, found yet another bad fix from the past. This episode is about fabricating the panel, and next episode should include the welding. This one might need some assistance from experts, and maybe a new TIG welding machine.
Project Opel GT 1971 #21 : The Roof vents - yet another rust trap...

This episode is a "holiday special". Took longer than usual and the pace is slower than usual.. I thought that this Christmas time would be perfect time to tackle the obvious disaster that was lurking inside the roof vent beam...
Project Opel GT 1971 #20 : The Boot - unique rust trap...
zhlédnutí 56KPřed 8 měsíci
The Opel GT has a unique boot. No lid, peculiar water and air routing, etc. Some say that rear end is the worst rust trap in Opel GT.
Project Opel GT 1971 #19 : Floor panels finally done
zhlédnutí 35KPřed 9 měsíci
Floor panels done, and some other fixes to the floor. I don't like the tubular jack supports, so got rid of them. I need to design and make more sleek jack supports that are strong, but are not visible. Also I got rid of the all cabin floor draining holes. I have never ever seen anyone using them to get rid of the water from the cabin. They just create entrance for the water and dirt to get in....

Project Opel GT 1971 #16 : Sandblasting the Moviestar. No more rust...just holes...
zhlédnutí 152KPřed 11 měsíci
Working with the better half of the car. Mostly just to open every cavity and compartment to be exposed for sand (actually granular metal) blasting. It is time to get rid of the ugly Plum color...But this moviestar had few aces still hidden in its sleeves.
Project Opel GT 1971 #15 : Sunroof, a way to destroy a Classic car !!
zhlédnutí 45KPřed rokem
Fixing one hole, and make new one. In this episode I try to make new panel for huge hole in the roof (welding it is another adventure) and make new hole for top back panel. Both were challenging tasks to do. Both tasks went through with Plan B.
