Cool little Opel :sunglasse

Rotary power would be awesome in it. I've ridden in a Cosmo Sport, probably about the same size as Opel, but 10A is weak. R1 much better.

I've been eyeing doing one w/275GTB influence.

Really really cool!

You rock, man. Clean, sleeper engine swap!

so is it a FOPEL R1

Looks great--only thing I would say is, add panel lines to the headlight covers as they are hardly visible. Otherwise it's awesome!

That's damn clean--it's hard for me to even picture this car WITHOUT a V8 anymore... Pretty unique swap. Love the stance too.

Here's the Opel I'm working on... same thing right? :D
