bendy Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Just had a look through all your pics on photobucket, normal places byt the look of it, your getting there though. Mine was quite bad above the chassis rails and jacking points on the passenger side floor under that sound deadening give it a good prodding!

gsi marc Posted April 4, 2010 Author Share Posted April 4, 2010 A few more pics of my manta gsi project, waxoiled under front end fitted new brake and fuel lines, Managed to finish all the welding at last, refitted the fuel tank and had it running, started easily without any nasty smoke or rattles so just going to service engine and leave well alone at moment just got to turn it around so i can drop rear axle and rust proof under there and then move onto the bodywork:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsi marc Posted June 18, 2010 Author Share Posted June 18, 2010 Had week of work so decided to get cracked on with body work, Filled some nasty dents in roof and flatted primed and painted it, Having to paint car panel at a time Due to size of garage so just done tailgate, roof and front scuttle first.

keith1200 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 (edited) That's a braw paint job! even better for having such a small garage:thumbup . I always thought exclusive wheels, work alot better on black cars than silver, your picture's prove that [edit] ps there's always proper manta deco's for sale at the billing. I've only mentioned that: I.E. incase you couldn't get any originals. Edited March 27, 2011 by keith1200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
