Kadett is my dream and after a few years after taking a driver's license could buy it for my achievement on July 7, 2009.

After fulfilling a dream of a child is priceless. I always wanted to have a Kadett and wanted my first car was a Kadett.
yes actually my first car is a beautiful, wonderful Kadett GSi white of the year 1993/1994.

ae follows the first of my Kadett GSI. =)

He had many electrical problems, bodywork very detonated, some missing trim, cut springs (lowered car) and with engine failure.
So I decided to take initiative and start taking care of him, changing parts and slowly reforming.

on Monday (7/13/2009) I brought the workshop to have a check-up on the engine, replacing parts damaged, replace the air filters, oil pumps, sails, ropes, belts, water exchange and the radiator engine oil.

A photo of the parts that changed the engine hehehe

And there was another full day almost giving a general power steering.
On the picture.

Leaving the workshop came home a little more quiet. Sunday I just went digging, my girlfriend and Kadett.
Still felt that the Kadett was not very nice. He lowered too bothered, you could feel the asphalt and all holes and gaps, bearings and rear wheel hubs worn, you could not move from 60KM / h which was beginning to shake the car and brake much was not anything nice.
So I decided to leave the Kadett in the garage for something bad does not happen.
End of July 2009 so I decided to give a general at the car safety.
It was an expense but it was very worthwhile.
I removed the springs 4 cut and sent to put four new springs and unbroken. 4 new shocks, 4 discs (dishes), hubs and bearings, all new pads and sent to replace all the bushings and pivots of the balance. I checked the status of the suspensions
Take a picture of the Kadett was demoted so he bought.

a photo of the pieces that were in the Kadett

But still was not satisfied, the car very chimbrando (Direction tidy, tidied up the whole system of rolling the car. ... Ah yes the wheels they were all detonated - yes alloy and all busted and mashed)
I was running with the car that way for about 2 more weeks in a row.
And started to show a little trouble. as radiator water (engine cooling system) getting dirty again and evaporating, the oil having to be completed almost every week about a pint.

Then I had some tasks to the car.

Flush the radiator.
Recover wheels
Replacing the roof lining
Wash the carpets and seats, to remove the bad smell

the engine and unfortunately I had to leave for later.

After completing a month with the Kadett GSI on 07/08/2009 I have decided to plan for major reform in January 2010.

No longer bear to be stopping at the station to fill up the tire every day. I went to a company's workshop and I left my precious four wheels to be refurbished.

follows some pictures of my wheels all within

I left the workshop to reform the wheels

I took what was already borrowed wheels and I solve my problem another great engine cooling (radiator)

After drawing the setback sent to a general upholstery (clean it, dry as they say lavagema ehhehehe) and sent it to redo the ceiling.
