hello

we are having this problem with a car we are working on, and if nobody here can find an answer, i guess nobody will ever. :)

the ride is a 1958 Opel Kapitan ( http://www.opel6070club.com/OpelKapitanL58/kapit.html , page' s in finnish or so). we are looking to install all-around air ride suspension to it, and we don' t exactly know what to order. given most opels of the era were built having an american counterpart in mind, it might resemble something similar there.

perhaps anyone has seen or overheard anything about what fits on these cars.

we' re having a hard time building custom cars here (the first customs garage in Romania, having rolled out the first ever Romanian custom - http://www.zencustoms.ro/index2en.html ), so any help whatsoever will be greatly appreciated.

thanks,
a.

Do you have any specs or pictures of the suspension?
The Green car is pretty sweet, what is it?

Not yet. I will go and photo/measure everything and post the pictures asap. I was thinking perhaps someone actually knew the model and I could cut through a few corners.

The green ride is a 1968 Opel Rekord Coupe. First historically restored it, then decided to go all custom. Then slowly turned to building more cars.
