Bosic, it looks like you have the inginuity to maintain and upgrade what is a rare car in your homeland. It will certainly make me think twice about complaining about parts availabilty in the US.

Looks close. When will you get to check them on the car?

Yes those should work. Unfortunately the brakes are slightly different on that earlier J body car.

From what I've seen in the pictures the Opel is significantly different in that it uses a 4-lug pattern.

I notice this too. However the C is a J body design. The next thing someone in this group will to do is get those 4 lug bearings and rotors for a 5 to 4 lug conversion to match their fugly euro tail lights

looks like someone in the cars previous life probably just ditched the egr when it went bad and installed a block off plate. I'd almost bet the plug is tucked in the wiring.

As with the opel story....well you learn something new everyday! lol sort of like the toyota cavalier!

Welcome!

I shipped a chevelle header panel to Weba 5 or 6 years ago, a brand new goodmark one none the less, and shipping was more then cost of the part. It was oversized to make things worse.
