My husband is a gearhead, an Opel gearhead, specifically. He loves everything about these cars. He belongs to Opel forums online, goes to Opel car shows, has Opel friends. Even the cat is named Opel. Not to mention that he owns about 10 of these cars. Most have seen better days, but all are beauties in his eyes for one reason or another.
The Geargirl.
That’s me. I could also be called The Support. The Help. The Photographer. The Blogger. The Kitchen Sink. Basically I’m in this to make The Gearhead happy so I’ll try my hand and anything that needs doing. Need a ¾ inch socket? I’m here to serve. Need a cool beverage? I’ll gladly provide. Need a dash pulled out? I’m your girl. But mostly I stick around because he looks super-fantastic-great all greased up in dirty jeans and old ripped t-shirts. And I love photography so this gives me yet another thing to shoot and practice on.
The Challenge.
Restore a 1967 Opel Kadett in one month. There's a car show coming up and we’re going. Come hell or high water, we’re going in an Opel. A pretty one.
