New shop, new website, new products, new everything 🙂
Hello and welcome to the edelschmiede website. Once again, I have a range of news to share with you all. So let’s get started! The “New Products” preview can now finally be viewed again on our shop homepage. The IT workers have been gradually improving many details, making the shop easier on the eye and, more importantly, more informative. We have also finally had the whole shop translated into...
Head into autumn with something new from the edelschmiede
The once regular news bulletin here on the edelschmiede website has become much more rare – sorry about that! It doesn’t mean that we haven’t introduced any new parts, just that we are no longer introducing each new part here first. 🙁 New items are generally displayed for the first four weeks on the web-shop homepage, so that regular ‘edelschmieders’ can keep themselves up to date that way....
Holiday time 🙂
In September last year, I agreed to my wife’s request that we finally fulfil her yearlong dream of having a beach holiday on the Mediterranean. Almost immediately, she snuck to the travel agency and brought us the idea of Majorca. And today, quite suddenly, our holiday has come around and our plane leaves tomorrow… Which means it’s probably a good time to let the edelschmiede’s customers know...
Hose elbow for the throttle valve – air-flow sensor, edelschmiede reproduction
I've got some news today: the deliveryman just dropped off a couple of well-filled cartons in the edelschmiede. What’s inside?? Have a look for yourself: These are the current, brand new edelschmiede reproductions of the hose elbows from the throttle valve to the air-flow sensor in the Ascona / Manta B 2.0E (Opel 8 34 435...
edelschmiede goes on TV
I have had an idea in my head for ages now, that, for a number of reasons, I never pursued further. – And then Inspector Coincidence came along: Clemens from Hallen TV, well-known from youtube and facebook, is an old friend of mine. And what can I say, over a fresh lemonade in the smoky edelschmiede headquarters in Emern City, it happened; a coalition between the edelschmiede & Hallen TV!...
New shop at edelschmiede.com
So, it’s finally happened! My good old friend, our old web-shop, is gone! Why? Tcha, because even a web-shop gets on in years and becomes unsuitable for future use. In contrast to our old vehicles, websites simply stop functioning when they get too old. Which meant that sooner or later we were going to have to find a solution. This wasn’t at all difficult, as there was an acceptable successor to...
Christmas 2015
Every year Christmas seems to suddenly creep up on us! I just managed to find one of the last Christmas trees in the area and the fairy lights appear to never burn out. Where, I beg of you, has the year gone? Although, I must say, that this year was particularly intense. Not just because we have brought out a huge number of attractive reproductions on the market, no, but also because we...
The two-thousand-and-sixteen calendar from ZF
It’s a wonderful life! Even in the middle of winter (??), with the beloved Oldie stuck in the heated garage. The reason for this bit of sentiment arrived in the form of the nice UPS driver, dressed in a friendly brown, who delivered a package with a difference to the edelschmiede. Puzzled, I checked the sender details. It was from the company ZF, well-known among us Opel drivers as the...
Digital construction work in the edelschmiede
We need more space! Of the digital kind. And more performance. These are concepts that aren’t directly related to our more analogue hobby, but are sometimes necessary all the same. Our brand new server is ready to go and our merchandise management is also getting a big update, to turbo-charge it, if you will. At the moment, we are just hitting the limits of our available performance. By which I...
