Guest Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Here is the new manta. Thought id take a pic before I start. 1987 D Reg, Auto GTE Coupe, sunroof model. 47,000 miles. The pictures are decieving there is a fair bit of rust on it, the sunroof is rotten to the core. I feel too demotivated to begin work, I cant believe I have to start all over again. Im going to be stripping the interior and soundproofing to see just how bad it is.

Guest Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Atleast you can rip it apart and see how it all goes together now. That's what I want to do with my coupe. BTW, do the headlight wipers work ? I'd like to put some on my Hatch. I assume you'll be reverting to quads ?

Guest Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Ive not checked the headlamp wipers but yes the plan is to put the quads on so ill be selling them when it comes to it. Ive taken 1 manta apart before, thats the easy bit, putting it back together making sure everything fits is the hard part. Thanks, im dredding the rusty inner sills and footwells.
