    Greetings, the Opel Vectra, which has been standing still for ll years, is in very good condition, I believe that with a minimal investment that car could be operational again. This has been demonstrated by the fact that you have not had many complications when starting it, as I have seen that has happened to you with other vehicles. Once again you have done it, you have returned a car to "life" when it was "dead". I say goodbye until the next video.
