Manta Nut Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 (edited) Well where do I start, the manta was finished and I was bored ! Then Simon P emailed me a link to this and I accidentally brough it, so collected it and then dropped it off to Simon at his workshop and then collected the Manta for Billing. Its a unusual one and will take a couple of years to restore but its all there. Just don't tell the wife as I already have 4 cars on the road.

czwh42 Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 If it's Simon doing all the work how does it stop you getting board? He'll be working all hours earning the money to pay for it ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manta Nut Posted June 29, 2010 Author Share Posted June 29, 2010 Its a Opel Olympia Car-A-Van P2. As czwh42 said why do it yourself if you can get a fellow professional to do it? Simon can do a much better job than me. It appears to be the only one in the uk and is Opel related. Can't work out how to enlarge the photos but will post some more later.
