Kent A Posted November 30, 2017 Author Share Posted November 30, 2017 vectra mrk 2 is unfortunately 8cm too wide. so it's hard to put in. I just put the dash loose in. it requires a lot of customization in the depth an some in the height. Perhaps the gear shifts should be mounted longer behind.

Kent A Posted December 2, 2017 Author Share Posted December 2, 2017 I've been doing some manta today. I started removing the original dash stiffening. Then I made astra dash to fit the manta. but I do not really think it's right. So now i have dropped the idea. I mount a vectra a / Cavalier mrk 3 this evening. I think it is much better and it also suits the car better than astra dash Project images are available to Club Members Only, Click to become an OMOC Member.

Monaco Blue Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 I think your wife may think otherwise! The body looks pretty good in the photo! Hopefully not too much cutting & welding required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent A Posted January 1, 2018 Author Share Posted January 1, 2018 (edited) The body is really good. only driven 125,000km. However, they have normal places. rails. Jack point. many small holes. so I expect about 40 hours of rust work Edited January 1, 2018 by Kent A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kent A Posted January 1, 2019 Author Share Posted January 1, 2019 (edited) New it is almost a year since I last looked at the manta. We were so unlucky that our daily car was totally injured in a rear-end collision. So we had to buy a new model. So the opel manta savings was unfortunately used on that. But now the is money in mine pocket again. So the next couple of months should go to clean up the workshop. Put ceiling plates up and paint walls. Then the manta must be cleaned of tectyl so that the rust work can be started Project images are available to Club Members Only, Click to become an OMOC Member.

Kent A Posted May 15, 2019 Author Share Posted May 15, 2019 I have welded a lot of new parts in the manta the last time. There are a few small rust holes and closed some holes that need no more. so it comes close to go to the paintshop. Project images are available to Club Members Only, Click to become an OMOC Member.
