Gedly Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Just want to say hello, my name is Ged and I have recently purchased my first Manta gte hatch. Its a C reg that has been stood for ten years and needs some time spending on it but hopefully I'm for for the challenge, but I may need some pointers from you guys in the know.

spiney_norman Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Alright Ged, I'm in Cardiff myself. You may have spotted me over the last few years in any one of several mk1 Cavaliers, or possibly even an Exclusive hatch I was running around for a couple of months. Whereabouts in Cardiff are you? Our area rep, Martin Meadon lives down in Penarth, if you ever need a hand with the car let me know, I've got plenty of free time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gedly Posted June 18, 2012 Author Share Posted June 18, 2012 Thanks for the offer mate I'm sure I will be calling on in the future. Im in Marshfeild half way between Cardiff and Newport.

Gedly Posted June 29, 2012 Author Share Posted June 29, 2012 Thanks Daz I would have loved to but unfortunatly I'm working, I will be calling on you I'm sure. I'm just putting fuel tank back on and spraying the underneath of the car. Then I will have to finish welding the rear valance and find the misfire so I'm sure I will need some more advice soon. Thanks again. Ged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
