Reims Posted December 13, 2011 Posted December 13, 2011 (edited) Hey Manta fans.Greetings from ESTONIA. Got this Manta about few months back.Big works has done with bodywork and painting.In back there is a Senator A axle with discs,the bolt pattern is 5x120.The engine is from the Omega 3000(Carlton gsi?).The box is from the Senator A again 5speed manual Getrag.Why I started this topic is because I am from Estonia and we dont have much Mantas in here left and I bought this car as a half way project and I need alot of info and help from you guys.

mantai200 Posted December 13, 2011 Posted December 13, 2011 Hi and welcome. I really like your car, the colour scheme is just right and the wheels look cool. I used to run the same engine in my A Series manta a few year's ago. There are loads of people on here who will be more than willing to help you solve any manta problems you may encounter. Quote
mantaray Posted December 13, 2011 Posted December 13, 2011 Hello and welcome. That looks a very nice car. :D :thumbup Quote

Sutty2006 Posted December 14, 2011 Posted December 14, 2011 Looks like a "wolf in sheeps clothing". (standard looking car, nice big engine!) Quote
Reims Posted December 18, 2011 Author Posted December 18, 2011 Can someone tell me from where I can get sunroof seal? Quote
mantaraver Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 It may be urban legend, but I seem to remember reading about how someone may have used possibly a vw golf seal. At least I think it was a golf. Sounds plausible at least. A scrapyard scavenge could be on the cards !! Quote

Reims Posted January 5, 2012 Author Posted January 5, 2012 (edited) Powder coated and removed the old seals Edited January 5, 2012 by Reims Quote
Retro Power Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 love this car - looks the business! re. the sunroof, yes i'm also 99% sure mk2 Golf is the same, and you can get them new still. Quote

welder Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 I've heard the Golf seal fits too. Car looks great, any suspension mode planned? Would look even better if it was lower Quote
Reims Posted January 17, 2012 Author Posted January 17, 2012 Borrowed from a friend a Borbet wheels to see how they fit to a manta front are on 8,5" wide and rear 10"x17" frontET13 rear 24 Also got a brand new golf mk2 sunroof seal wich code is 321877209A 1 Quote
johno Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 really nice looking motor you have there dude!! Quote
MANTAMAN Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 setting aside the wheel width issues, the combination of black roof and bonnet, red car and black/dark centred silver rimmed wheels is absolutely terrific!!! you've got to finnish the manta in those colours. 1 Quote
CRAZYDAVE Posted April 13, 2012 Posted April 13, 2012 Looking good nice to see something a little bit different Quote
Reims Posted April 25, 2012 Author Posted April 25, 2012 one of the wheels lost air and we took it apart Quote
