tommy manta Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 hello there, i used to hang around on here loads before i actually got a manta then stopped for some reason when i actually got one. i got stuck in ongoing project status and haven't actually driven my car for over about 15 months now. well i handed over my A-series to someone with the tools, time, space and knowledge to finish what i started and it just came home today. it's had all the plumbing and electrics taken care of i just need to stick it all back together then get it road legal. so no doubt i'll be asking all kinds of stupid questions over the coming weeks and months so i thought i better sign up. anyway, here is the car when i first got it; and this is it now; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommy manta Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 although unfortunately not road legal for that year me thinks. well spotted. it's just what came with the car. not sure 'how' illegal it is but i did have some legal ones made that i'll be using on the road.
