[Vlietje]

And best of all: NO RUST!!!

[DAVIDKEDENS]

Want those seats!!!

[Novasport]

Glad you got it, looks great :). Kinda wish I had bought this one as well lol

[Vlietje]

Cheers Rich! So glad you didn't buy it in the end. This ones is so clean, really love it!!

[Novasport]

At least it has gone to a very good home, look after it & enjoy! Open top driving in a Nova/Corsa A is great isn't it :)
If you ever move it on, let me know ;)

[Edd]

Very nice Jeffrey

Glad your pleased with it

[tahir868]

That's awesome, and very clean indeed. What's your plans for it mate?

[Vlietje]

Want those seats!!!

:)

[Vlietje]

Thanks guys, need to clean the interior and exterior and give it a clay bar/polish/wax treatment. That's it basically. Also got some early smaller mirrors as I'm not a big fan of the Engelmann mirrors. But they're bolted on the doors so swapping isn't an option without respraying the doors....

[Novasport]

Any plans for the engine. Needs a 1.3 :)

[sport]

Looking great Jeffery, nice purchase seen it advertised earlier in the year.

How rare are Michalaks?

[Benn]

Christ looks like new almost. Love it.

[bazzap8389]

Looks very clean, nice purchase Jeffrey!

[Graeme]

Nice purchase mate good to see it doesn't need a Bazil style rebuild

[mowgli]

it looks good. but why is the roof black, not white??

[7ova]

Hi Jeff
Nova looks great
But what about the GSI
You gave up on it?

[Vlietje]

Any plans for the engine. Needs a 1.3 :)

C20LET ftw

[Vlietje]

Looking great Jeffery, nice purchase seen it advertised earlier in the year.

How rare are Michalaks?

Cheers mate, well they made a total of 98 Michalaks, don't know how many are still around. Some estimate between 25 and 30. There should be 3 in the Netherlands: Pastry's GSI rep, mine and another one...

[Vlietje]

Christ looks like new almost. Love it.

It's like new, only needs a good clean!!

[Vlietje]

it looks good. but why is the roof black, not white??

No clue on the roof, but I don't think there was a standard for Michalaks.

[Vlietje]

Looks very clean, nice purchase Jeffrey!

Thanks! Had a go in it today and I love it!


Nice purchase mate good to see it doesn't need a Bazil style rebuild

LOL that's why I've bought it. GSi rebuild will be a Bazil one... :)

[Vlietje]

Hi Jeff
Nova looks great
But what about the GSI
You gave up on it?

Cheers Stu,

The GSi will need a full long term resto.
The Michalak is just for the fun in the sun.
So I'm not parting with the GSi as I have all the parts for the rebuild here, just need to save up some more to start...

[7ova]

You do know the GSI is going to take even longer now,

Now you have something else to tinker with
I'm looking again, got that nova itch

[bazil]

Nice buy Jeffrey, I guess Billing next year will be our first chance to see it?
It's also nice to see you doing the same as me, buying another car to enjoy will the car that's in bits continues to drain the bank account lol
Seriously though its best to take your time with the GSI rather than a rush job that you'll regret.

[Vlietje]

You do know the GSI is going to take even longer now,

Now you have something else to tinker with
I'm looking again, got that nova itch


I know, that's why I bought this one! Buy another one!!

[Benn]

It's like new, only needs a good clean!!

Would help if i could...

[Vlietje]

I could bring her over for a weekend down south!! :)

[istf]

C20LET ftw
I don't think it's a good idea for a rust-free, original Michalak :(

[Vlietje]

I don't think it's a good idea for a rust-free, original Michalak :(

Was only joking, keeping this one original with the 12NC engine!

[Mazz]

Very nice car :) Looks almost brand new!

But one question though, why do all (I've seen) LHD mk1's have the choke in the switch panel, not by the ignition shroud like RHD ones?

http://s1224.photobucket.com/user/vlietje1/media/DSC_1212_zps5c650466.jpg.htmlhttp://s1224.photobucket.com/user/vlietje1/media/DSC_1212_zps5c650466.jpghttp://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee371/vlietje1/DSC_1212_zps5c650466.jpg

Ok, I relieved :) Anyway I think the front mask eyebrow is removable :)

Can't tell why Mazz, but I know that ALL LHD Mk1's have the choke in that same place. Maybe something to do with space behind the dash on RHD or cable length?

[Simon 1867]

Really like this. Looks so clean. I like the idea of owning a soft top nova

[scott.parker]

That's just pure greedy having this and a GSi lol

[Benn]

I could bring her over for a weekend down south!! :)

haha Crack on...

I'm sure there are a few rhd ones that do. Sure one i looked at years ago had it there.

[pastry]

It is, but that's original Michalak.


Yes you should move that eyebrows...and give them to me..:d
Nice car mate, can't wait to see it in real. I'm very jealous of the orginality of you nr 9!

I'm glad that you bought the car!

Should be a nice look in my barn with my in total+/- 500hp corsa's. :thumb:

[pastry]

At least it has gone to a very good home, look after it & enjoy! Open top driving in a Nova/Corsa A is great isn't it :)
If you ever move it on, let me know ;)

@Novasport if you still in doubt ( which you should), I know a couple of michalaks for sale in Germany. Were you invited to the FB corsa cabrio page? Corsa cabrio drivers only. ;)

[istf]

It is, but that's original Michalak.
You're right! I didn't know.
http://opel-corsa-a.com/Modelle/Michalak/Michalak11.jpg



I'm glad that you bought the car!

Mee too! Good to see it's in good hands now!

[Vlietje]

Fcuk fcuk fcuk, left it outside today. Whole car is wet inside... Stresssssss!

[Novasport]

Ahh no! Was the roof down or was it up and leaking? Depending on how wet it is I would take the carpet out to dry it as the underlay will just hold the water.

[Vlietje]

Roof was up, but it leaks... It's not too wet inside, Pastry saved the day as he offered me to stall the car in his lock-up... Cheers matey!!

[pastry]

Nice car m8! Your Michalak is 100% the way it left the factory! Great love it. Glad to help you! And nice meeting your mrs. Hopefully sunday 2 Michalaks drive together for a nice touring trip. :-)

[istf]

Unfortunatelly these older cabrios never been waterproof enough. Just thinking about the chopped door frame for example.
This is the reason why I using underbody coating at inside floor too and will be trying to use this HOBBY CAR in dry conditions.
The roof is enough for a fast summer-raining/shower and the inside is drying out when the sun is shining again and the roof is down :(

[mikey093]

Thats a cool corsa. Looks like a pickup with roof up, i like the design of it

[CorsaBBoomer]

FINALLY!!! Welcome to the club lol

And yes, I am enjoying mine every day now. And especially above 4K :d

Let's meet up soon ;)

[Vlietje]

Cheers guys!

Minor update: car passed MOT flawless last Thursday

There was a crack in the water bottle and for some reason it was a bit puffy... So changed that.

[Novasport]

Looking good :)

[Vlietje]

Cheers Rich, this weekend we're attending the Young-timer Vestival in Herten (Germany) togehter with Thomas and Tom, so be prepared as we're displaying at least 4 Michalak's there!

[pastry]

it was lots off fun!!

[Vlietje]

Dropped the Michalak at the body shop this week to re-align the front wings, lower valance, and have them respayed together with the bonnet, scuttle panel, A pillars and front part of the roof section. It seems that the car had a small collision front left. The lower valance was pushed back by half an inch and both front wings were bent slightly.

Let the pics do the talking:

[Vlietje]

That's just pure greedy having this and a GSi lol

The GSi was about 1/12 of the Michalak's going price... But it's solid and that saves me putting silly money in it!

[pastry]

Dude whats that on your tubes....? ;-)

[Vlietje]

Dude whats that on your tubes....? ;-)

Maybe Jacco was getting excited at some point?! lol

[pastry]

looks like we've got a new PIMP here. ;-)

[Vlietje]

So another update as I received some piccies today and went down to the body shop to drop of some parts: new Hella head lamps including Hella indicators and a new OEM windscreen rubber.
Car's being painted tomorrow.

Some before pics incuding the dents on the wings:

[Benn]

Camper needs a light sand off....

Is the whole car getting painted? Or just the A pillars and wings/front panel?

[Vlietje]

Mainly surface rust on the T2... lol

Getting the whole front resprayed: front panel, wings, bonnet, pillars, roof (what's left of it, as Mr Michalak chopped it all off...) and scuttle panel.

[Benn]

That's what they all say...lol and nice! Should look great.

[7ova]

Looking good mate
Get the GSI booked in the next time your at the body shop

[pastry]

Looking good mate
Get the GSI booked in the next time your at the body shop

I think someones piggybag is empty... ;-)

[Novasport]

Looking good. Did you not want to get the mirrors moved from the doors to the normal position whilst it was being painted?

[Vlietje]

Need to respray the rear end also next spring. Doors will be done then. And the side skirts are coming off. I'm not a fan of these Irmscher skirts.

[Vlietje]

Look who's here again:

Rear will be resprayed next spring because of this:

Irmscher skide skirts will be taken off then together with the Engelmann mirrors. I'll swap these to the standard mirrors in Polar White.

[Novasport]

Is the plough & Michalak headlight eyebrow going back on? I think the skirts do not look right as they are the earlier type with the step to fit under the plastic bump strips. The later ones are different and taper out.

Cannot beat fresh paint, this will look amazing for Billing next year ;). Makes me want to hold back on my resto so I can take my Spider down too :)

Yeah, both plough and Michalak eyebrow are going back on but the Opel logo isn't going back on. Both have been resprayed. I know these side skirts are for the hard plastic bump strips, but then again I don't like the look of them on a Michalak.

[Vlietje]

Skirts and mirros prov sold then! lol I'll keep you guys posted!

[CorsaBBoomer]

Let's make Billing 2014 the Convertibles edition lol

Jeffrey, what puzzles me is the little crack on the B-pillar... I know what's behind and you should be able to see that from the inside but be sure to check there is no inner rust there as you will not want that... You can also check through the vent-hole above the door lock bolt.
But other then that, looking very fine and

Normally I will be comming to NL once again, found another missing piece perhaps at Maasdam so not that far from you.
Be sure to be home then, will let you know when :thumb:

Looks great m8. Hope we can drive a trip topless this year. Otherwise we must take our GSI and GT ;-)

Agree on that. Sooner or later, all Michalaks have that same problem. Cracks on the paint and filler due to the welding done on the side panels and rust coming through. To do it properly you need to remove all filler. And there's a lot of it :tard:

[pastry]

Not mine... not mine... say mine's not going to get that problem...

[Vlietje]

Cheers Steve and Tom for the info! The back end will be stripped next spring. We already had the camera inside the vent holes and there's no internal rust but it showed they welded sections of approx 3cm each.

Here's a pic from the oldtimer meeting last month:

[7ova]

Nice alloys Jeff
Should look cool :thumb:

[Edd]

nice wheels

they irmscher wheels ?

[Vlietje]

Cheers guys, should look perfect on the Michalak and in line with the black/white/chrome theme...

Edd, no these are EXIP's.

[Novasport]

Great wheels, will look excellent on the Michalak. Still kick myself for selling the Irmscher 15's that looked like that :(.

[scott.parker]

There awesome dude!

Jeff if you see any like them or the irmscher ones in 15" let me know, as i would love a set to finish my car off..

Ps:enjoy your self in Austria, hope your going somewhere good, and board focust..

[EwanG]

Hi, Should the spring kit lower the car 35mm all round? They lowered my front 30mm but not sure about the back as I forgot to measure it beforehand!

Cheers Scott! I'll keep an eye open for you. Going to Brixen im Thale (Tirol) on Thursday for some snowboarding. They've forecasted 40cm new snow this Sunday and Monday so we should be fine.

Need to wax my Burton Custom X tomorrow!!!!

Hi, Should the spring kit lower the car 35mm all round? They lowered my front 30mm but not sure about the back as I forgot to measure it beforehand!

Set is in my lock up. I'm sure they are the -30mm springs. But all depends on the weight of the car.

Will be fitting 165/60 14's on them, just slighty stretched. Don't want to go any wider because of the nippy 1.2 engine with only 45 bhp! :)

[Vlietje]

Cheers Tom!

Cleaned them thoroughly using Iron X, just the best stuff for brake dust that won't come off. Then waxed them inside and outside using Smartwax.

Alright alright.. We saw them the first time... Stop showing off lol

[Vlietje]

You're lucky my homobucket was playing up. I still have 10 pics waiting to upload... LOL

[Vlietje]

BTW... Did I mention that I bought another set?! :d:d

[dgbnova#1]

No you missed that out but I'm impressed with you polishing your RIM for 6 hours must be a bit sore now though lol

[scott.parker]

BTW... Did I mention that I bought another set?! :d:d

No you didn't... 14's?

[Vlietje]

No you missed that out but I'm impressed with you polishing your RIM for 6 hours must be a bit sore now though lol

it's so smooth now, wanna touch it?! lol

[Vlietje]

No you didn't... 14's?

Yeah, mainly because one rim on this set has kerb marks. The other set has two rims in very good condition, the other two are badly damaged. So combined that'll make a set of 5 very good wheels incl a spare wheel.

You should move to Germany matey, plenty of decent priced car parts and only acfew hours from the Alps. :d

[Tim Harpley]

Really nice wheels & car, will look good on it. Oh and thanks for the bonnet :thumb: it feels a lot more solid than the old one, it was nice to meet you :).

[Vlietje]

Hi Tim,

Thanks! Was good meeting you.
Did you get waffles?! Think I forgot or not?!?

[Benn]

How did i see the wheels, they look lush!

[Tim Harpley]

Hi Tim,

Thanks! Was good meeting you.

Missed out on the famous waffles lol maybe get to try them some other time :thumb:

[CorsaBBoomer]

I had some 155-55's on my E30 rims... The look nice and straight but I didn't have any grip with the... So back to 165-50-15's here.
But yours look great :thumb:

[Novasport]

Can't beat spare wheels. I always seem to end up with 5, 6, 7 or 8 wheels lol

[scott.parker]

Dude you seriously need to find me a set in 15"! :)

[Benn]

Oo loving the rims dude.

[CorsaBBoomer]

Can't beat spare wheels. I always seem to end up with 5, 6, 7 or 8 wheels lol

Only 8 wheels? Here it's currently 14 complete sets :d


Yeah Vlietje, always nice to have spares. You never know what our good roads bring :thumb:

Now I need to fit them under the car this weekend... ;o)

[CorsaBBoomer]

Stop taking pictures and get those wheels on lol

:thumb:

[Novasport]

Look great, what size tyres have you gone for? Look like they have a little stretch.

[Vlietje]

165/60 14 as I wanted them to have a little stretch. Worked out fine. Other options were 175/55 14 or 185/50 14 but the latter one is too wide.

[Edd]

Very nice
Looking forward to seeing them fitted

[tahir868]

Great looking wheels Jeffrey, I was close to buying the same a couple of years ago for the Calibre! Look forward to seeing them fitted :)

[istf]

Stop taking pictures and get those wheels on lol

:thumb:
Haha! I glad I'm not the only one who thougt this :D
Cool wheels anyway, but looks better on a Nova ;)

[Vlietje]

So, as the wheels didn't fit without spacers i needed to source 5mm spacers for the front. They were hitting the tie rod ends.

My bumpers are a bit to blueish compared to these, need to sort that out. Seems that U-Pol Mid Grey isn't the right colour for an early Mk1...

Was a great day out! Thanks to Danny, Tom, Thomas and all the others!!

[CorsaBBoomer]

Was fun! And the 5 standing together was just EPIC!

Cu in a few

[Edd]

looks very nice on the wheels

i prefer the bumpers that colour

[Novasport]

Wheels look ace. Nice to see all five Michalak's together, hopfully you guys can repeat that line up on the PNG stand at Billing ;).
Sorry, not liking the bumper colour, I prefer the original browny/grey colour. Minor thing on a great car though.

[Vlietje]

So, I chased the seller of this part for the last few weeks as the reserve was not met and I had to have it...
We worked out a deal, and now I can fit this superb steering wheel and save the original steering wheel from wear and tear...

And to treat it while it's in the lock up I bought this nice cover with fleece liner and mirror pockets:

Love the wheel great hunting skills you have mate

[Novasport]

Nice wheel, what is the heater switch from without the HRW switch on it?
I bought a Mk2 Cav one but the terminals on the back are different.
I was going to fit it to the Spider but the hard top has a HRW. I have a clear rear screen for the Swing with no elements so may need one for that.

This is also a Mk2 Cav switch. I'll look into the switches next week or so.

So last year when Niek and myself were on your nice little island I was bidding on a set of MSW alloys and won. These were claimed to be new and had the right size and offset for the Michalak. I wanted to collect them in July 2013 but the seller was not around, so tried again in October when I was visiting Munich for some Oktoberfest action, hence they were in a small village near Stuttgart (6hr drive). Again he claimed to be in Italy that same weekend. And then my dad's health was rapidly deteriorating, so I had other things on my mind. I contacted the seller again in March trying to arrange a pick up as I had paid for the wheels back in June 2013... No reply.... Tried to contact him sending a message every day for two weeks via ebay, again no reply... Contacted eBay CS to find out if they were able to help me out and in a few days I received a reply from him telling me that he had an accident and was recovering from that.... I also found a picture of him on the net and spotted other items he had for sale on ebay on a different address. We set a date and as that was a month away I contacted him in the week before to confirm our ETA as we needed to pick up some more parts on our way. Again no reply.... We're were to leave on Saturday around 6am and the ******* sent me a reply on Friday night to confirm...

We got there exactly at the confirmed time (surprisingly as that never happens when we come over to the UK) and there was a guy waiting for us at the address. He claimed to be a friend of the seller, but I recognized him from the picture. So I played the game along as all I wanted were the wheels. 5 minutes later they were in the back of my car. Couldn't believe that after almost a year I finally had the wheels. So now you know the story behind them, let me share some pics:

I know, but I'm undecided whether to put them back using double sided tape or to wait until the respray and fit new ones...

[Vlietje]

I need to find someone who can make the cover fit...
