Berlina '78

[caligra]

Hi,
I'm Benjamin a.k.a. Caligra, 15 year old student from Belgium, and to keep it short and interesting... I have a passion for low, old cars since I've been a little kid!
My head project is a lowbudget (student...) Opel Kadett C City from '78
Sarted like this


and ended like this



Started polishing all original chrome parts, and soon I may start with the detailing part
So, let's hear what you guys think about it!

Nice touch keeping original wheels and widened them, like it very much.

in the mean time the car sits in the garage till you turn 18?

[OpelWagenGT]

Dude! I have always loved the Kadett C chassis too bad we never got them in the US. I love what you have done. I have seen those wheels widened before and it always looks good.

any shots of the interior?

Oh I hope you don't mind I am going to post your car on my Tumblr.

[caligra]

Oh no, don't mind that
My parents ride whit it 'till I'm 17, within 2 months I get 16, and then it's another 9 months counting down for my theoretical exam... Can't wait!
Here are some interior shots




My rollcage is almost finished, I'm thinking of painting it white, or matt black, or...
Has someone got some advice for wich colour ? I don't wanna make it too boring though :/

Wow interior looks really good! I think a white roll cage would look good in that car. I love those plaid seats.
