thnx, yeah heard that before:), im still doubting about the wind deflectors, the car had them when i bought 'r.. they grew on me;).. kinda like them now, so don't know if im gonna remove them.

My plans are, fixing it.. had r over 2 years now and she became al little rusty.
Got my replacement parts now just got to weld them in.
I have some alloys that need to go under and needs repainting. bought the car with cleaned trunklid and bodykit rearbumper.
Been busy to make er original, like a gsi supposed to be.

Been saving up for somem throttlebodies so they will come eventually.

here the cesaros are not realy known, so its hard to search for because most people don't know the name or just sell them as "opel sport wheels" mine where 250 euros for 5, cav slabs are easy to find here..
