I fixed that annoying defrost switch that would not stay off. Hardest part was getting it open. This was an issue for me since I use the switch to turn on and off my auxiliary electric fuel pump which I only use to prime the system if the car has sat for a long time.
 
It looks like an Opel Manta to me. I am unfamiliar with the GT/E badging. My father was not a car guy, but he had an Opel Gt when I was a small child. My memory of the car is him telling me he had to get rid of the car because of me. He was a great dad...
 
It's an Opel GT. The Manta was not as sleek, didn't have the pop up headlights.

Beautiful little car. If I was able to get in, and that is doubtful, I would need a hoist/sling to get out.

Funny, that is the reason my Dad said to me about his Porsche 356 SC. "Once we had you kids, I had to sell the Porsche." I won't give you my reply, it got me in trouble for sure. I think when I was told that, he deep down knew he made a grave mistake, especially for how much he sold it for. Had to blame it on someone else though I guess.
 
that's a familiar thing - selling a cool car when you have kids. the first new car i bought was an '82 twin cam Supra ... sold it 3 years later when my son was born. but, i bought a '73 Bavaria and a '79 528i ... so not a bad trade
