sotb Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Hi Here are a few pics of my manta project so far! Thought i would put up some pics to show all the people ive been hasseling for parts where the parts are going! This is a very lucky Manta to be alive. I think any Sane person would have scrapped it but hey I like a challenge! so far it has been completely stripped. and had a new front valence, new inner fronts wings( also have new outer front wings to put on it) box section chassis rails from above the subframe mounts to the x section. new sills that have been fabricated to allow for box section to be run inside them to add strength. I have just finished the rear suspension mounts and have new rear arches, valence and rear quarters to fit. So far i have used about 7kg of mig wire! I have stripped the front axle and made polybushes for it using stainless rod and polyurethane bar and a lathe! I have bought it some volvo 4 pots and currently trying to decide which discs i should use for them. I also have a nice c20xe and getrag box waiting for the day when the neverending welding is complete! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
611 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 That is some serious rust you had there. Got to hand it to you, that is one project i would not have even thought about taking on. Nice to see another Manta A getting back to being on the road. Keep the pictures coming. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
