adz the stig Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 Do you really want to know lol my range rover clutch has just started slipping!! Not happy!! So now I have to waste money on a rover!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adz the stig Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 Well boys and girls as above I did get a rover that can get to fuck! Rubbish!! Selling it now £2000 if anyone wants it. Offers. But more importantly my manta she is now getting sorted at the body shop now (needing a rear quarter) hopefully might have a whole coupe for spares. But we'll see if it comes about. So she is on the road to recovery the thought of her being fixed near brings a tear to my eye! Love the car. Not long now until she is showing up the modern pish!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenson Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 I have just put my hatch back on the road not driven it for four years as soon as I got behind the wheel and fired it down the road it made me realise why I love mantas. I was gutted when I read your project thread and was glad you did not give up on your coupe. As I said my coupe is exactly the same as yours and I hope to have it on the road next year and look forward to seeing yours back to as new .

adz the stig Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share Posted July 2, 2014 Thanks mate. Can't give up on her. There will always be some thing I can do she will be sorted. No car will ever put a smile on my face like the manta. Even when she went flat if I never started her for a couple of days haha love it!!

adz the stig Posted February 19, 2016 Author Share Posted February 19, 2016 Just trying to up load some pictures lolProject images are available to Club Members Only, Click to become an OMOC Member. Took the axle off to paint it. What's the best paint to paint it with?? And the underside of the car?? I've got lowering springs/harder with fancy shocks. Going to but fancy rear brake drums and new rear brake Pistons. The drivers side read shock was totally knackered. So wouldn't have helped me spinning out. Next picture Project images are available to Club Members Only, Click to become an OMOC Member. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adz the stig Posted March 24, 2016 Author Share Posted March 24, 2016 totally new brakes for the back. Where do you guys get your drums from? eBay? Getting polly bushes for the whole car from retropower. Also a drivers side sill as mine has gone behind the spat/ side skirt haha. What paint is best for the axle? Im after a full exhaust if anyone has one? And I think I'm going to get a lsd once I get to sea more. So again if anyone has one of them to give me a shout. If not I'll get them from eBay ££££ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shug Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 (edited) Brakeparts.Co.uk is where I got mine. Jetex do a system for the gte but they might not have much availability on the downpipe. For the axle I'd use epoxy paint. Edited March 24, 2016 by Shug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
