bendy Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 (edited) Manta coupe project for sale, project thread can be seen here http://forums.mantaclub.org/topic/13969-bendys-xe-power-400-project/ Ive been served notice to vacate my house and ive tried desperately to find somewhere to store the manta and all my garage equipment. Ive been trying to find somewhere to put it all before ive looked for somewhere to stay myself but cant find anything. Im forced to have to sell it all up. Id rather sell as a whole rather than sell all the parts broken up. I have a massive amount of parts and spares. i could refit the axles so its a rolling chassis with engine and running gear complete. heres a list of just some of the parts. C20XE rebuilt with 276 degree cams Front mount distributor bracket opel metal plug cover 1800 sump fitted 1800 gearbox fitted hybrid clutch ashley heat wrapped 4-2-1 manifold heavy duty engine mounts new gearbox mount new droplinks all front suspension parts blasted and painted chassis black and most rear parts. full rear set of powerflex bushes 15 inch revolution 8 inch alloys 2 new bucket seats omp harnesses half roll cage fitted and front cage/door bars not yet fitted spare doors and many other parts, all original GTE exclusive body panels/bonnet shell has had most repairs done, some small patches still required, structural repairs complete. rear arches have been cut back and welded shut for wheel clearance, spare wheel well removed. sunroof plated over. 1800 rear axle 400lb road rally front springs and matching weighted rears used 400 rally kit and bonnet goodridge brake lines 10 litres of 2k vauxhall glacier white and hardener. many other parts which i cant remember but theres not much more needed to build into a great 400 rep. I live in the orkney isles which im sure will put most people off but transport of the lot could be arranged somehow im sure. The car is originally a GTE exclusive E230 XUJ which you will see if you read the project thread, i recommend this to get an idea of the work which has been done and the standard its been done to. pictures speak louder than words. As for how much i want for it, i know its not the done thing but what value do you put on this? Im really not sure, i know i have Over £6k tied up in it already but im open to offers over 3.5k. unless i find somewhere to keep it very soon its all going to end up outside on my uncles driveway and we all know how quickly thats going to ruin it all. Pm me or email bendy200@yahoo.co.uk if you want anymore details. Thanks Brendan Edited June 28, 2010 by bendy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManx Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Don't do it! You will only regret it. Think your location will not make for an easy sale. Have you tried going round farms asking if they have any barn space available for a bit of cash in hand. Even if it was only sort term till you found something better. Hope it works out for you.

bones Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 (edited) I might be interested in the 15 inch revolutions if they are for sale, what age is on them and what off-set and do they by any chance would they fit group4 studs?
