im pretty sure i sent you a message in march or april... doesn't matter i will be back soon enough and we shall organise something then..
Ok, a half year further..... I can't get de 2.2 engine to run properly. I could do it with webers, but it costs 1000 euro's to put them on the engine.
For the same amount i could put in mij red top engine (c20xe) so that's the new plan. I already have the (special) parts i need (gearbox, excaust mainfold, oilsump, etc...) The next few weeks I will refurbish the engine (the outside) and put it in my car. I put in a ecu with rewritten chip, different airbox, group A excaust, this should give around 165 HP.
I will keep you guys informed.

The engine is almost ready, Need to do the cooling, heating, wiring, exaust, and then it should be ready to run. I hope within a week.
I didnt went easy, the extractor didnt fit, needed to reweld it,the transmission was a problem, and the ignitionsensor what came in the heating system was enormous
The steeringkolom goes almost through the extractor.

The engine is running, tommorow it will be examed by the officials, so that the car papers can be chanced.
Here a little film, with only the extractor under it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pl ... Y1F2R_qpng
The car is not on fire (again ) its the paint from the new extractor
Almost a year further.... I have bin driving & enjoying the red top for about a year with allmost no problems.
I was planning to restorate the car in 2014 but a 19 year old &^&$$%$^&*&* without a drivers license changed the plannes. She drove into the side off the kadett wich resulted in a lot of damage. So I am rebuilding the kadett right now.

Rebuilded and strengthend front axle:
A little bit off rust:
Empty engine bay:
Rebuilding the corners with headlight bracket:
The damage is repaired:
More rust:
Welded a new piece:
Cleaned en coated the floorpans
The kadett will be painted in a different color, didn't like the green that much....
Updates will come in the near future
