Fasterthanyou Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Def one of Clives. He usually provides nice little stainless screws for fixing those in so as mentioned give him a shout and he will get you sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opel2000 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Ah now then..... That was origially supplied to Martin Warner to a pattern he supplied me with in order for him to fit it to his Manta pick up. Basically this was not a standard item that I make and was customer specific, I'm not too sure how Martin fitted this to his pick up, and in order for me to be able to give you any idea of how you could fit this I would need the rad tray in front of a Manta to have some idea of how to go about fitting this, as it was a long time ago I made this for Martin.

steve price Posted October 9, 2011 Author Share Posted October 9, 2011 oh gaz thanx m8 serious family matters mean the coupe has to go!!!,along with the whankers that run the country i fear that most of us are fucked the only way i can keep the coupe is if she fails to meet the reserve on e bay, but thats only slowing down the inevitable sad situation is all i can say at the moment she is finished though enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
couperman Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 no way, so sorry to hear that m8!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve price Posted October 11, 2011 Author Share Posted October 11, 2011 oh yeah gaz she run the full 5 days on e bay over 1400 page views and some 169 watchers tagged on to watch the auction,thought at one point it was going to go over the 5k mark but alas it managed £4300 all genuine bids and not run,didnt quite meet my reserve so for now im still a manta owner allthough the high bidder is coming to view the coupe to night, final pics and thanx to all especially gaz couperman thanx m8 steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
couperman Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Steve 500% improvement on the car you bought mate, I am really envious of the time and effort you have put into this beautiful Manta. If you don't get to keep her it will be a shame, but nevertheless, whoever gets to own this car will be lucky at the mere £5k to make it theirs! Good Luck with the sale mate. GAZ That's not to say it wasn't worth anything when you bought it, so many positives with this orignal, solid Manta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil Fish Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 (edited) Steve, sorry to hear you have to sell your exclusive, must be gutting to put all that time and effort in only to have to sell as soon as its finished. twice in a row now too double gutted. http://forums.mantaclub.org/topic/19070-manta-exclusive-coupe-1988-e-cassablanca-white/ One of these days you'll be able to keep (and more importantly enjoy) the fruits of your labour!
