mantasrme Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 could this be saved then? Anything can be saved, and this one doesn't look too bad so far. Have a look at a few in the Projects section and see how much has been welded on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robah Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 was it you that bidded on it? did you get it? hopefully it is, as Titson (seller) is a top genuine bloke and a good OMOC member to know If you have bought it good luck with the project.

steel Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 yes i got it ,didnt realize he was a member that makes me feel even better about having it does seem like a real nice bloke from speaking on the phone to him going to arrange collection in a week or two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantasrme Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Yeah Mr Titson is a good guy he's a couple of manta rally cars aswell. He's a complete Manta addict If I'd had the space for another Manta project I would have had that as it's a great starting point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robah Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 hopefully the first of many good decisions i cant wait to wade into it like john wayne grinder in 1 hand welding torch in the other lol regards the sunroof what model manta came without 1 all the ones ove owned or see have them much better without for a rally car tho I think it was only the later models that came with sunroofs, Better to not have a sunroof, as most (not all) have problems with water ingress and rust. I have had my exclusive sunroof removed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantasrme Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I believe All exclusives had factory sunroofs fitted, and it was an option for other models The sunroof is a big problem for mantas and it's not an easy fix, Even if the rust isn't showing on the outside I'll bet it's rusting inside on 90% of cars with the factory roof now I just chopped open the roof on a 1.8 hatch that looked good outside, was rusting loads inside though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
