1900SR Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 (edited) I've received some pics of my old Manta from my brother David, so thought I'd share them. Mainly stripping it down so far. Doesn't look all bad, but it is. Ah, this view looks less bad Something missing here, anyone got a varajet 11 going spare? A hole here as well, starter motor anyone? An almost perfect bonnet, two minor dints to sort. How come there are less stone chips than my modern motors? rusty seam under bonnet. That rusty seam again worst bit of visible rust off side rear offside again I'll post some more later. Edited May 28, 2012 by 1900SR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stradacab Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 (edited) I've just finished the nose cone repair on my SR hatch too! Yours doesn't look quite so bad but that seam is a devil one it has thinned. Nice to see another pre-facelift hatch under renovation, with a great reg and in an unusual but fetching colour. Give David my encouragment- keep it up! Edited May 27, 2012 by stradacab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Good to see its getting done. Strangely it didnt look that bad back in 2006/7 in your mums garage Mind you I only saw the rear end of it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1900SR Posted May 27, 2012 Author Share Posted May 27, 2012 A few more pics. Rusty inner sill Front passenger footwell Front passenger seat area, deep surface rust deep scarring under filler Moths have been in here I think, now how do I start to make a new bit? I'll try and keep this updated as I get new pics, but progress isn't likely to be very quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
