15 at one blow! Huge discount offer in the edelschmiede
At some point enough is enough: the green ‘edelschmiede Ascona B’ has finally received the approval needed and is now free to make the streets unsafe with authorisation! This is in itself a reason to celebrate, especially as it took literally 15 years, all in all! Although, it isn’t as though work was done on this green comet every day, or even every month, throughout this time period. No,...
Low, lower, Monza / Senator! H&R and the edelschmiede go lower!
We have realised, after many enquires and a long period of market monitoring, that it is absolutely necessary to bring the lower suspension setting springs for Opel models Monza & Senator A back onto the shelves! – With this in mind, I contacted the company H&R to ask if it would be possible to produce a small run of the much loved lower suspension setting springs for the...

Today, Mrs edelschmiede arrived at the firm with a...

The edelschmiede goes to Wedel, or: The maiden voyage of the 4 litre Ascona
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The 1st of May is reserved as “Father’s Day” in the Nastke house, as on this particular Public Holiday I make the trip to Stade for the Vintage Opel fair at Opel Cordes. This year, the <a href="http://www.opeltreffen-wedel.de" target="_blank">fair</a> took place in Wedel by Hamburg for the first time. This wasn’t too bad either, as distance-wise...
Man, that’s sticky! Or: how to win a fight with a sticker.
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]It’s arrived! As I already mentioned in one of my previous posts, we have a new merchandise management system in the edelschmiede.
