Manta-i200 Posted January 30, 2008 Author Share Posted January 30, 2008 Somebody asked me, where I got the exhaust system from. Accidentally I cleared that e-mail, so I will answer here. I started very soon, after I bought the car, collecting parts for the restoration. The new pipe system was offered in ebay. I think I paid it in D-Mark, a long time ago. I glow in happiness.

Manta-i200 Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 I collected them over the years. One her one there, one in ebay, the next one in a opel forum and so on and on. All you need is patience. Alexander No Fear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manta-i200 Posted April 4, 2008 Author Share Posted April 4, 2008 The end is near. But unfortunately there is one thing I´m absolutely not happy about. It´s the rear spoiler. That original rubber part won´t fit at all. I hope I will have a solution soon. Alexander Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manta-i200 Posted November 22, 2008 Author Share Posted November 22, 2008 The latest informations. Yes, I was very upset with the result of my new, original rear spoiler. My original plan was to drive that car in May or latest in June, but the spoiler looked very bad, a few days after mounting. So my plan was to get an GFK-Spoiler. First I ordered on in the UK, but they never delivered. Then, with help of this forum, I got one, but it was not that form I expectet. In the end, there was the only way, to built one on my own. Luckily a colleague of mine is building RC-flight-models and he could help me with hints and getting the right material. I wantet my spoiler like the original, and so I started, not knowing what will wait for me. Step one, was to built the moulds. Then, in step two, making the parts. And here is the result Painted What is shown here, took me a few month and definitly will cost me a few years of my life, but for my Manta I would do everything. Maybe next year I will drive it Regards Alexander Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
