To spring or not to spring, that is the question?!?
‘Allo, ‘allo to all Opel Senator A & Monza drivers, Almost half a year ago I asked: Are any of you interested in an official set of reproduction springs for the bigger Opels? Up until now we have been waiting and have accumulated a number of interested parties, which has lead us to give out another call: Are you interested in such a reproduction?? I still need a few more people… All...

The edelschmiede web – shop is coming. Photos wanted!
As I already mentioned in my last post, very soon the edelschmiede will have it’s own shop 🙂 🙂 We are currently working on it daily and now we need your help and support; Every category of items needs its own corresponding cover picture.

The seasonal license plates have banished our Manta, Ascona, Senator and Kadetts back to the garage. My Ascona is no exception, with the active months spanning April to October. With a tear in my eye, I picked up my son Hannes from...

Reinz seals, installation kits and more rear-wheel-drivery…
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] “Children, how time flies!”, is a phrase I have already used here. And what can I say? I was right! The summer is long gone, the days are growing short again and the polished summer cars are being driven back into their garages.
