well, thanks for the replies!

Nice dude, what are the plans engine wise?

I rekcon you should grab a full front bumper too, the quaters look a tad funny!

I don't really like chevette bumpers at all, not sure what i'm guna do yet tho. Maybe pf50 bumpers.. just square it up a little..

Engine wise, Piazza twincam, you should know this zep.. talked about it abit.

fucking mint, looks nice on those wheels too.

gonna leave a Chevette front on it or put a gemini one?

Gunna leave tha front for now.. I like this front because so many people dislike it. Something different is always good, even if it is ugly.

I would like to use an early Gemini front but if I'm ever going to change this, its going to be an Opel Kadet nose i think (some how).

Ah, thought the Piazza Twin-Cam might be the case. Good choice!!

Will the PF50 bumper fit? It might look a bit odd with the squre bumper on the rounder front, you never know tho, worth a try/photoshop.

The early Kadett C fronts are pretty much exactly the same as the PF50 fronts, just with different bumpers. I think the later model ones had the indicators on the sides of the lights.

People will probably think this is lame.

But i reckon adapting some pop-up headlights into the front would be cool

hahaha umm... ok its ugly already I don't wana go and make it worse!

I sorta see how it could work tho... but no! you try it :P

How many gems/vauxs you had now?

4 :cry: My friends hassle me... hah

This wasnt the mint as interior one of trademe was it?

And yup, its that same one indeed. Thats what I meant by, 'thanks neil for doing all the hard work,' so now all i have to do is pull out the springs and put wheels on it.. then eventually motor and turbo etc

Pop-down light covers! They're flush, then when you turn the lights on they lower themselves down sitting flat with the bottom of the headlight scoop. Might stick out at the front a bit but could work...

Ahh, no sorry to everyone. Chevettes sell for like $2, buy one and do it! :P
