Kadett Chronicles 3: And so it begins (4/17-18)

So we picked up the car while visiting my in-laws for the weekend. It was living a peaceful, idyllic life there until we yanked it from the dirt behind the old barn (might have been a grainery, but I digress). Actually I think that if it could, the car would probably thank us profusely. A car needs to be on the open road, right!?! Up on the trailer and latched onto The Gearhead’s S10 and we were ready to go up north to our home (henceforth known as The Shop) to begin the transformation. The adventure. The journey….[tap tap]….this thing on?

The object of our motorin’ affection for the next month is this 1967 Opel Kadett. Baby blue, 2-door. That’s really all I can tell you since it’s basically just a shell right now. Anything else, like engine specs that I might happen to retain while watching it go in will depend on what engine The Gearhead decides to put in it. And let me tell you, I have no input on this matter. Paint color though…now that’s something I’m keen to take a whack at (name that movie).
