smiffy220 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 will take some tomorrow and try and post them.... dont know how to post them tho There are various threads on here of how to post up pics. You'll need a web based photo account such as photobucket.com. Set up an account and upload the pics to it from your pc. Then open the pic in the photobucket account and point the mouse over it, you'll see a menu tab appear and they'll be an option for 'img code'. Copy and paste this onto your reply and post the reply onto this forum, it will then point this forum where to see the picture rather than downloading the picture on here. Works well though. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mantasrme Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 If you press the button just above the text box you type in. Then insert your link in the little box that pops up The picture will appear in the thread as an image rather than link Like this: Looks quite nice, but looking through your other pictures on Photobucket i wouldn't be sure the chassis doesn't need welding The swan neck is showing the early signs of rust pushing through (they rust from the inside out ) Does the cage bolt directly to the floor at the front? Looks like the roof bars over the doors angle down towards the front, do they or is it a trick of the picture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mantadog Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 nice manta good luck with the sale my brother used to own NEC51V, a red sr coupe i loved that car, so yours made me smile when i saw the reg !!as i state unfinnished project,,, the cage is temp bolted to the floor but need a box mount making to be near the roof line they need to come up about 1" i have poked around the swan necks and they are solid as stated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've played with a lot of manta's that look solid but as i said they rust from the inside out, untill you take the underseal off you can't see it happening. I'm not having a dig or saying your wrong, just solid ones are few and far between nowadays Good luck with the sale, if i had the cash i'd be up for a look. But too many cars here already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opel2000 Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Had a few Pre-Facelift hatches, and can say this is typical of the ones I've had. Bear in mind it has been a few years since I've had one of these. So this is in good nick. Typical early B doors, don't know why the fcuk the early b doors rust like this, i've had later ones sat outside in the rain for years and are still perfect. This chap has done all the majority of the hard work I'd expect to see on an early B and this is a psis easy project for someone to finish off, and at a sensible price too. Good luck with the sale.

dog321fish Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Thanks for the pic Senator. I assume this is a place that typically rusts/rots? Cheers Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2908642343 Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Yep, the swan neck is a typical place where Manta's rot..... espically around the bolt hole etc........... There are many Manta's that have had bad repairs around this area............... You can see some good examples of Swan neck / chassis rail rot in the projects section.......
