gt/e paul Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 zz4/mantagte2009/Image003.jpg heres a couple of my own these were within the last two years at separate scrap yards it didnt take long for the 1.8 to be stripped of its useful bits the rest of the car pretty much remained untill they scrapped it. there is another 1.8 there at the moment again stripped of its worthy parts. such a sad sight ,i can remember goign to the yard where the gold coupe was,around the late 90s and being able to chose from around 6 to 7 mantas.

fjz400 Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 The yard near me used to always have mantas in, once I was there and found a German plate I300 still complete so I had the roof off it and the near new zf lsd and a few other parts..The roof was around £20 and the axle cost a massive £30 complete and now is on Andy Turners 16v. Wish I had the gearbox now but hayhoo I did ask my m8 who worked there and he did rip it out for me but I never collected and yes it was a 265 dogleg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 When I had my Mantas in the 90's I had a steady supply of parts from the 6-10 that were always in the local yard, never even see them on the road now!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

399Road Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 (edited) Paul, Is that Mick's B in the first picture? We'll have to see if there's any Kadett shaped dents in his roof when he peels the Vinyl off. ...Luke.
