biffy1984 Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 Greg on here had a hatch rmj bodykit with back bumper for sale a few months ago, he might still have it. If not theres one on ebay just now. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Opel-Manta-B-Hatch-Bodykit-sideskirts-and-rear-bumper-/220695450616?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item33627953f8 I use photobucket to upload photos on here, just copy the img code on photobucket and paste it on your post on here. It took me a while to figure it out but it's a piece of piss once you've sussed it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manta Nut Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Nice work, Keep the photos coming? Is it for road use or do you intend to use it on the track? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opel2000 Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 So refreshing to see someone getting stuck into a hatch on a big scale. I always thought these were better built than the coupes, and for some reason it always felt that the hatches held the road better over the coupes, possibly due to a tad more steel/weight over the rear end. Wrap around bumper. Damn sure I saw one for sale on Eaby the other day, unsure wether listing has finished or not now. As someone has already correctly said it is the RMJ bodykit that was specifically designed for the hatch as hatch arches are closer to the vehicles rear panel than the coupe.

huw Posted November 25, 2010 Author Share Posted November 25, 2010 thanks for the comments. Yeah fair bit of work gone into it so far, quite a bit left to, only using it for the road i think. Just looks the part, know what i mean. still dont know wheather to put a bit of a detachable aluminium fire wall behind driver and passenger because the fuel tanks going where back seats where. Still got to run fuel lines, brake lines, engine back in, 2.0 CIH 8v. o and bodys got to be sanded and painted. just covered in primer at the min just to keep it nice.
