"They still exist, the good things."
The advertising slogan of a well-known company from our vicinity, which, however, has nothing to do with cars.
But this slogan also applies to the company Edelschmiede Emern.
The owner, Thomas Nastke, also wants to make his customers happy with rare, selected pieces.
These customers are all fans of old rear-wheel-drive Opels.
In the online shop for rear-wheel-drive Opels, they receive new and custom-made products for their darlings.
We are also allowed to contribute to conjuring up happy faces and deliver small parts to the company, which is located near Uelzen.
Of course, in such a blog post, one of the owner's cars must also be shown.
An Opel Ascona B.
As the first impression of the pictures conveys, it is a tuned vehicle.
The car was fitted with an Irmscher Senator 4.0i C40SE 200KW / 272PS engine.
This roars out of a stainless steel exhaust system with Ø 2x60mm.
To brake the rear-wheel-drive car again, internally ventilated brake discs measuring 300x32mm are installed at the front, which are gripped by Wilwood Dynalite II 4-piston aluminum brake calipers.
At the rear, the original brake of the Irmscher Senator 4.0i with 270x10mm discs and 2-piston (Ø 40mm) fixed calipers does its job.
Bilstein B6 sport shock absorbers are installed all around, with the shortened version at the front.
The green monster stands on Dunlop 215/45 ZR 15 84W tires, which are mounted on Ronal 8 x 15 ET23.
