Some parts from Calibra to Kadett C, is it possible?
I want to put doors from Calibra to Kadett C? Is it possible, and is it worth?
Does someone have technical drawings from Calibra and Kadett C. I need side drawings with detailed measurements. I wanna try this and see what will happen.
Beside this, I wanna put 2.0 16v engine to Kadett C. This I now how, but can you tell me on what I need to pay attention?
I need to change brakes. (to put discs from Callibra, front and back) I don't know do this, can someone help me?
I want to put interior from Calibra to Kadett C, can someone give me measurements of seats (I'm not really sure can I put back seat to Kadett, because I think is wider then this one from Kadett)
Thanks for the answers!

I think mate the doors will be a noooo. Just look at the shape - the kadett has a very angular door, the sweep angle of the A pillar is about 45 degrees whereas the calibra a pillar is much more "swept back". Also the calibra door will be about 1/2 a door longer.
the 2.0l engine should be easy - just depending on which engine you get you may have to either modify the "fan box" for the distributor to clear, or get rid of the distributor cap.
Then you need a RWD sump such as the 1.8 manta sump (very expensive because theyre rare) or you could maybe get away welding some 'wings' to a steel one (i'm almost sure ecotecs and 8v's use a steel sump?)
The original gearboxes are tiiiiny, should probably cope with standard power but i'd stick a bigger getrag box on from a 1.8 manta or a bigger omega box.
brakes - on the front you can fit volvo 240 4 pot calipers, and carlton 2.2 discs (if i remember correctly). Or this guy on retrorides makes brake kits for the kadett and chevette - brembo 256mm vented discs, spacers and bolts. Then you use 2 ltr astra calipers. Standard brakes on the front are about 220mm or something? They're poor anyway.
Brakes on the back - quite difficult again. The axle has the drums built in it, not sure if there was an axle made with disc mountings. I know the isuzu piazza turbo axle will fit with a little modifying (if you can find one), this is good for 300 hp and has disc brakes as standard.
interior, don't know. Calibra seats weigh a ton! They'll go straight through the kadett floor lmao. Maybe not, but you'll definately need to modify the runners yourself for them to fit.
