Chevrolet Chevette

Those who read the WIP thread will be aware of the damage to the LHR guard/wing/fender. Well, a drop from a mere 6 inches did the same to the LHR quarter panel. Not impressed, much cursing, the cat fled for it's life, fearing my wrath, while the Chevette nearly went under my boot.

Since I couldn't stand the filling, sanding and repainting, and I doubt it would either, I decided to live with it. A Chevette won't exactly grab you by the throat.

Nice little model Chris.

It shows nicely from the right side, Chris. I've got a few builds that have a favored side, myself.

Hi,
Sharp looking model
It was quite a popular car in Portugal, badged as Opel/Vauxhall.

Onto the next one,
Cheers,
Nuno.

Looks great. Wish I could find a couple of these kits. I owned two full scale ones. A 77 and a 76.

Nice, they were Opel Kadetts over here too.

Holden Geminis here. Fun little cars too, I owned the van and coupe versions. Money and space aside,
I'd have another in a heartbeart.

Shay buddy...we had Opel Kadets over here and other Opels. I use to date a gal that drove a Opel Manta with a 5 speed it ran very well too...cool looking little car.

I remember the Chevette Scooter. Cool little cars.

That is a kit I have never seen finished. Looks good webby, I like that colour. Too bad about the damage, good on ya for not stomping on it.

They were rallied over this way

A lovely gold, one of my favourites. A big shame about the crack though.

Too bad about the damage but otherwise it looks excellent! I have fond childhood memories of sitting in one of these almost buried by groceries, lol.
