I must say - this is more fun to watch than anything on TV. When you got that Opel to actually run, I yelled out and scared the cat. Hats off!

The world needs more of these videos by this guy.

Problem: engine bay keeps catching on fire - solution: spray bottle of gasoline. I dig this channel.

Lovely Opel Kadett B! My father worked is whole life at OPEL Rüsselsheim (headquater of OPEL Germany). Bring it back ir back to life! 😍 Greetings from Germany!

I collect Opels... My father was a engineer at Opel and my mother's family owns several dealerships in Bavaria. In 2017 I purchased a 69 coupe that Major in the United States Army bought for his wife to drive while stationed in Germany. They brought it home with them. When I bought it it had 38k. It even had ice cold air installed by the Buick dealership. I drove it 1050 miles home without a single issue.

I owned a 1969 Opel Kadett station wagon for 26 years with that 1.1 engine with twin carbs. Great little cars!
-
I was stationed in Germany 80-85. Had a 72 Opel record 4 door. great car and never had a problem with her. Over the years as I've gone back, I've always rented the newer Opel Diesels. Great cars.

Opel was Germany's GM subsidiary. The same thing happened to British Vauxhall and Australian Holden. That one is an Opel Kadett and it's a damn good car!

Those cars were built to be inexpensive, entry level transportation. No frills, no comfort, just a little better than riding the bus. My family had one, purchased new. I remember one day the axle came out of the differential housing in a left turn, with the tire and wheel still attached to the brake drum and axle! That said, it did teach me how to shift gears and lasted quite a few years. It met its demise after 8 years of faithful service when a drunk ran a red light.

This guy is helerious. The way he took his shirt off to put that fire out. Total respect for getting her running

Opels always had tiny engines. Well bilt and well maintained. Nice size car rides so nice . My x owned 1 still rides smoothly it is old but nice to ride in. Good luck on this car.

In the late 1960s I had two Opel's, both Kapitan's. One in Germany a 1960 model and one in the UK, a 1959 model with right hand drive. They had 6 volt batteries originally but I converted them both with an extra 6 volt battery for starting power. The '59 model had rounded bodywork which looked like a Chevy. The '60 model had angular bodywork. Loved them both.

I love your videos on how you try to start really old and knackered engines, so satisfying to see them roar up again.
-
When I was growing up, everyone always told me to take care of things. Apparently not everyone thought that way or simply learned the lesson. I have always wondered how you can leave a vehicle abandoned for no apparent reason for so many years.

I would invest in a fire extinguisher when your doing these engine restarts.
-
I had a 1968 Rallye Kadett in goldish green. Back in the 70s. I missed that car should have never sold it. But what did I know back then. Your video just brings back good old memories. Thanks I enjoy your channel
-
I have a 69 Kadett Cavan that I have restored and drive to car shows here in Kansas. They are nice little cars. Nice video.

I love this channel. When you're creating sparks and pouring gas an occasional mishap is inevitable. Likewise getting shocks off old wiring. Both are treated with the contempt they rightly deserve. My favourite Lets Run channel by miles...

brilliant video to see thanks I love old cars ❤️🚘🐜

Enjoying your videos and Sleeperdude's, especially both Opel videos.
