lawrie Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Just bought a standard Manta B saloon 1983. Drove home - no probs except for a whiney diff. Not the missus this time!! Due to health reasons this will be my last car and I've got 4 months or so to have fun!!. I have about a further £1000 to play with. Spending approx £400 on paint so £600 to enjoy on going faster. So come on lads and lasses what do you recommend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lawrie Posted June 4, 2009 Author Share Posted June 4, 2009 Hi Craig Got back fine, cruised down the M1 no probs at all - plenty of admiring looks as well. Car as steady as a rock, and it's so nice to have rear wheel drive back !!!. Only downside is I've lost my painter chappie - posted abroad, so that might have to wait, but hey I'm posing about on a daily basis without it missing a beat Thanks for the kind interest Keep smiling Lawrie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
