CRAZYDAVE Posted March 1, 2013 Author Share Posted March 1, 2013 Did anyone on here buy this? It looked a good shell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmw Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Yes, me. I wasn't on here before....but I am now. Yes, it does seem a good shell. Someone has done some good work in the past. I've yet to have a serious prod around. Mainly been tidying and seeing what works and what doesn't. The V8 fired up first time once I'd cleaned the plugs and added a fuel pump.....good oil pressure too.... .... could do with an exhaust before my neighbours lynch me. Brakes to be examined next . . hidden remote servo with no innards = non existent braking. The list of things I want to change is long and expensive. But that was the point of buying a project!

dmw Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Many thanks Simon. It was Garry Croft's car got me interested in Mantas again. (Well, that and the white and black GT/E that was sold not so long ago.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
