Sutty2006 Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I was told a few week ago that there was a manta in a local scrappy. I went down it turned out to be a commie in rather holy form. Its pretty much complete. Minus the back axle and front hubs as ive been and ripped them off this morning. ID say its been sat under a tree longer than Ive been around. Hence theres f**k all left underneith metal wise. I dont think it will be round for much longer as they move things on quickly...

Sutty2006 Posted March 9, 2008 Author Share Posted March 9, 2008 Well its safe to say i dont think anyone would attempt trying to restore her. The front cross member/alxe wasnt held on much as the chassis has rusted away from the mounts. Will get some pics up in a bit of the underside.

parkysmanta Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Well its safe to say i dont think anyone would attempt trying to restore her funny i was going to say is anyone going to take on the huge task of restoration, it would take some serious hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midasmesh Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Yes must say i've had some bits off them before, always said they were from a Cavalier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Well at least its been noticed and anything that is of use can be removed before its crushed, nothing worse than these old cars getting crushed with hard to find bits still attached Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
