Opel Inspiration

Recently I've been contemplating race cars. What would be cool to run. I was thinking about Mx5 NA or NB coupe but I don't really have any love for them.
But the Isuzu Gemini / Opel Kadett on the other hand is a different story. I was watching a video of the Zakspeed Ford Escort that led to the knowledge of the German DRM Opel C GT/E and it opened up a world of cool! The wide flares are awesome. In Australia there were some in Group C running at batchurst etc.
As my first car was one of these, It amazes me the amount of stuff that I never knew in isolated Australia.
Opel Aero Top, 2 door sedan and other varients are just cool!.
You may have read a previous post that mentioned I'd like to build one NOT, But maybe that NOT is NOT.
For some inspiration
14900 Euro seems cheap doesn't it for a 190ps widebody 1978 monster?
Aussie ones seem to have all been converted to ZZ/Z bodied cars that don't look so cool.
I like these bumperless TX style cars the best.
