tocca Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Just saying hello all, im a Ford man at heart but mantaboy89 convinced me to get a Manta for a go, so bought the one in this ad http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C445626 for £950! Its lovely clean condition, needs little bits here and there but will be having some mods along the way. Plans are suspension, wheels and brakes first.. Then thinking of an engine swap.. so we shall see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spiney_norman Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 More manta's in a 5 mile radious here than anywhere else in Britain I bet. I guess that depends on the distance between stradacab and rapierdave's houses! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spiney_norman Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 If Josh still has those blue H&R springs and matching shocks lying around then I recommend you harrass him for them. Made my Cav handle better than anything else I've ever driven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tocca Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share Posted November 1, 2013 Josh has sorted me out with suspension, changed the shocks for now and it makes hell of a difference. Car wont be staying standard so hope no-one going to hate on my pulling it apart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantaboy89 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Springs and wheels next, then we can crack on with this coupe and get a bit of synchro drifting on the go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantaboy89 Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 So we sorted the springs yesterday, hate doing the front ones, thing is so stiff the rear screen blew out when it was shut down, may have to wind the shockers off a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Car wont be staying standard so hope no-one going to hate on my pulling it apart I run a standard Berlinetta of a similar vintage so if there's any standard parts you want rid of I'd appreciate a heads up.
