Manta A , 1971

[Gunhild]

This is my big project, lots to do.  I'm just going to do it the "easy" way- sandblast the whole body and put it in acid, add a new engine and injection, brakes from Record E 2.21.

Here's the pictures. I'll add pics regulary when there are changes   

Thats it for now, I'll try do some more this week    Gotta drive the car to its winter storage, so I can't remove everything yet.

I've finally come a bit further with my car. We bought a house in December and didn't exactly have the time to fix our cars.. But now its vacation and summer It has become a bigger project than I thought it would be, and the rust i everywhere. I've basically taken out everything that doesn't have to be there. Melted the asphalt as well. The next step will be to sand blow the front and later do the same with the back of the car. Perhaps we'll do that at the same time. Here's the pictures:

Motivation is always good..
