aarond Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Hi all looking to say hi, hopefully getting a manta a very soon needs some Tlc (welding) first a question are there any pannels still available for the mata a? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opelmantagsi Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Welcome, good to have another Aberdoneon on here, as you can gather I am a long way from home. Cant comment on the Manta A panels but Callum at Retropower is a great first contact, he has fixed me up with panels for my Manta CC, I don't have a clue about the A. Hope you have some space for the project, plenty of time and gear to work with mate, old cars are black hole when it comes to time and money. If your getting serious I suggest you join up as a full or web member (rather than a user) as there is a lot more info on this forum / club once you join, its been well worth it for me. Look forward to hearing more on your project. Derek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adz the stig Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Another Scottish manta. I live north of you. I use my manta b as a daily but put her away for the winter so only in the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aarond Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 So the one I'm looking at has had an engine change to 25xe, has anyone had any issues recently updating the log book? Also carpets, it has none. Again are these ok to come by? Or alternatives available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aarond Posted September 20, 2012 Author Share Posted September 20, 2012 Yeah get the welding done first though...looking for replacement front pannel, wings off... Can't seem to work out where else this front is on, but darkness cut me short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opelmantagsi Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 might be worth starting a new thread in the projects section of the forum, you could end up with a big thread and its nice to have it start to finish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Abbott Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 (edited) Was it owned by a bloke called Azzi? I sent him a new clutch for the car, he never paid me for it £80 I will never get back I'm surprised I still trust people Good luck with it, we are a caring loving group of Manta owners who will give you in even doses grief and support Edited September 20, 2012 by Kevin Abbott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
