Inner wheel arch : Project Opel GT 1971 #25

Thank you for showing! Always great to see your work and how you solve difficult problems with your garage tools, genius!

I shuddered when we had a “plan A”. This of course indicates a “plan B”. Rust never sleeps. Rust hides. You seem to have a near endless supply. Blasting cabinets change lives. Then they are never big enough. Then you realize that while they change lives, you began to wonder why it takes so long. At a certain point you feel there is no end. Then all of the sudden? You run out of rust. You are doing a wonderful job of it! You have taken a deep dive but you are making it your bitch! Very creative methods, solid repair, and a pot of gold at the end! Well done!

Was für ein Metallbauer, der weiss was er tut. Sehr gut angepasst die Bleche. Ich bin zwar kein Fan von der Minicorvette wie sie genannt wurde, kenne sie aus meiner Lehrzeit bei einem Opel-Händler noch zu gut, war für mich nicht geeignet zum Fahren, zu große Füsse.

Mighty impressed 🙂! If I get stuck in my project, I just have to rewatch some of your content and I will see that anything is fixable 😅.

On your videos I can not see any distortion due to heat. Do you really have no distortion with all the heat and extensive work you do to the doors and rear window frame? Your videos are my favorite as you only have tools and equipment that many of us have in our garages!

Man, that's seriously challenging stuff to take these doors apart !
Kudos 🔊🔊🕴🏼

what a joy to look at again and what craftsmanship, it really looks beautiful 👍🏻🙂

Thanks for another great video. I do really enjoy each part. I liked the section on Plan A and Plan B. I also like the hour counter. Not many people realise the amount of time that goes into a proper restore. Opel certainly know how to make sure the body wasn't going to last. What are you doing about the running gear anf suspension. Are you going to restore this as well ?

Keep well

I also just bought my sandblasting cabinet.

Your work with tools and metal is Incredible, not forgetting the filming and editing, this gt will last forever when its finished.

woow, now you show all your skills, i see that welding is better than ever, and imagine for a second when it will be finished, you will be as skilled as the 5000 factory workers.

Sehr beeindruckende Arbeit!

Again hats off for your skills.
BTW.
I spoke to a very skilled panel beater who told that he once hand made a complete door skin for an Opel GT.
He told me that it was quite a task due the shape af the door, curving in all directions. You can see some of his work here:

The video is Danish but i think you will get a sence of his work.
Sadly he is passed away now. He used to give me some advice when i was rebuilding my Spitfire.
The music was so nice i this video, thanks.

Absolut geil ❤ it 😎 ooler geht's nicht tolle Arbeit liebe zum Detail und das Blech noch extra abgesetzt 👍🏻 hervorragend

What's the difference between the red and grey primer?

Hey, thanks for your great videos, just binged watched the them while getting over some Man flu. Can’t wait for more of the ongoing restoration.

Großartige Arbeit❤
Ich habe meinen frisch erworbenen GT Mitte der 90er direkt wieder verkauft, nachdem mir klar wurde, was für miese Rostecken da lauern. Daher meinen tiefen Respekt für deine Arbeit 😎🤘

So fu****g beautiful. You are an Inspiration. :-))))

Well done mate, i had to d oa very similar repair on the tops (and bottoms) of some RA28 Celica doors, and it had similar reverse curve, its bloody tricky to make that section with simple tools.
