couperman Posted October 14, 2010 Author Share Posted October 14, 2010 There has to be something that let's it down Gary, I was gutted when I saw what the actual reg was - Do you think it's looking good since being in my possession?? You said you had been to see it before. GAZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve price Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 gaz,whats occuring wi the white coupe steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
couperman Posted November 18, 2010 Author Share Posted November 18, 2010 The white one is rotten Steve (( Obviously someone with talent and more time to spare would take it on. Me tho, I need to strip and recoup what I can. Unless some one want to collect it for a fair price. I want the engine and gearbox out of it which is a 2.1XE (kent cams and pulley's) with all the 1800 bits and polo heater box etc etc... I have pics of it's rotten-ness GAZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

couperman Posted November 18, 2010 Author Share Posted November 18, 2010 Thought about selling it, but I like the thought of having all the spares I need on tap so to speak. Of course certain bits can go, but I did spend a fortune over the years on the car replacing this and that, it's only the shell that's gone. I have seen folk resto a worse example.... Like I said - if I did sell it it has no engine as the 2.0XE is mine to keep! Currently though I'm storing the engine in the car as I have nowhere else to put it!! Open to offers of course! Oh, no no done anything yet. It's not that bad, but will need doing at some point. Have had a few changes in my life recently which have meant I just need to keep check on the pennies in the immediate future. Hail the car cover for winter!!!

monzta Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 What a great looking Manta. I would however kick that big red foglight on the bumper to Mars (penalty kick style ) and maybe lower it just a bit But it´s absolutely beutifull, love the monaco blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
couperman Posted July 11, 2011 Author Share Posted July 11, 2011 Yesterday I painted the door handles and the window wiper stems back to as new fashion. Replaced the front bumper, nosecone and bootlid decals that were 'lost' during the respray work I had done on the car. The plan is to get it lowered (and replace all bushes at the same time) and go stainless. This this will have to wait until after the rest of the bodywork is resprayed to the standard of the preBilling jobs I had done on the car. At least I know I am happy with and completely trust the bodyshop, they do great work! Oh and steve I have put the original rear lights back on, I was never sure about the blacked out one's, I think I have switched them about 3 times in as many months mate! Anyone know any good upholsterers in the NW? I would like to get the drivers seat bolster minted up again, it's the only part of the interior that needs attention. I'll post some pics up later if it doesn't rain!!! Thanks for looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
