The annual Vauxhall/Opel show at Billing is coming up soon - July 12th.. The autojumble is usually packed with stuff , so do you guys need anything ? Want me to have a hunt for something in particular ? Granted , postage might be a bit of a p1sser but you never know - I might just turn up some old grommet you've been hunting for for the last ten years..  If you think of anything , PM me  |

Lots of stuff - trouble is you're going to want money in exchange  Have fun, though, and if you'd care to take some pic's and post them I'm very sure it would be appreciated (well I would, anyway)  |

I need grommets... the rubber hinge sockets the rear side windows hinge on in the B pillars... small so postage wouldnt be prohibative... quite honestly fuct without them and GM parts dealers have looked at me like I'm on crack when I've asked for them! With international money transfer fees being what they are I reckon posting cash over would be the go... plus some for your time feckin around... there are 4 per car, missing a set off my primed/paneld wag and missing a single off my green wag... keep eyes peeled and lemme know how it goes...
If its too hard no worries! Thanx either way!
PS Do you know what I'm talking about or are u with the GM dealer on this one? Crack is whack!!

If you see someone selling OPEL centre caps for the alloy wheels, I lost one on my Caliba Friday at a track day. They're like a cross, same as the Vauxhall ones, but with a lightning bolt instead of a Griffin. Similar to these  I need one but if you can get more than one for 20 quid or less I'll buy them off you - with a small consideration for your effort, of course Remember, Lightning bolt! |

Guys , I don't need extra money if I can find the parts , just the cost of the bits + postage is fine - we're all supposed to be helping each other here, aren't we ? I'll be trawling the autojumble anyway so it's not like it's hard work ;D Friendlyfire - any particular colour mate Gordo - added to list And yeah , paypal is the easiest way to transfer money . Best thing is , if you send money as a 'gift' there are no fees invloved.. |

this is the rubber jobbie.... this is what you'd be used to seeing on chevettes...  ...and this is how the ozzies do it on the gemini! bolt thru glass instead of glue on crappy vette styles... are opels like this or glue on? just out of curiosity and general nosiness.  Anyhow just the rubber bits, have tried pulling some out of a partser car before but they seem to come out in many pieces. Actually just in case you have no joy maybe bulldog could whack the B pillars out of one of the parts hatches... another option for wagon that has none is plating over the holes and having some new glass cut that doesn't hinge... glass is slitely curved tho and would be a pain in the butt... another option is chopping out the next pillar and putting in an extra long window similar to MK2 escort wagon... |

BTW on my stupidly outrageous wishlist is an Opel Kadett C Karavan... have to win Lotto 1st! Or earn a trunk load of excess cash. Wonder how much freight from old blitey would cost... would be badass to have a genuine Opel Wagz to add to collection! Do they come in RH Drive?
