swebooy Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 (edited) Well this is my project, bought it in 2011 (when i was 16) and then it's been standing in a barn. I'm from Sweden and no GSi or GT/E was imported here, only 83 hatchback have survived and is still registered in Sweden. Anyway I'm going for a Gt/e look for it because it will be something that sticks out from the rest of the Manta's here in Sweden. When i bought it it was fitted with a 2,0S Cih but now i've put in a 2,2E from a Opel Rekord -85 and a Getrag 240 instead of the 4 gear transmission. Going to fit some GSi sideskirts on at and a rearspoiler that i bought from lepo5 on this forum Here is some picture of it This is summer 2011, it's the grey one. This is how its been standing for the last two years pulled out and ready to be towed to my workshop A 2,2 Cih that is ready to be fitted In the workshop Fixing some rust on the driver's side Getting better Engine + gearbox Found the way in to the car Had to modify the tunnel to get the gearbox in place And some more rust Not so proud of it but it will do the job. Then i had to build my own gearbox holding points Edited December 12, 2013 by swebooy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swebooy Posted December 12, 2013 Author Share Posted December 12, 2013 (edited) this will do the job Finally the drivetrain is complete Started to connect the wiring to the engine the owner before me pulled some own wiring but i think i will get it working changed the headlight that had broken glass old one to the right, the new one comes from my other Manta where they have painted the inside black so its darker then the other even after i scraped the paint away. Fitted on the car Got some more things fitted on the engine Electric fuel pump, filter and hoses for the fuel was fitted. This is the rearspoiler i bought, the only one in Sweden, which is kinda fun Edited December 12, 2013 by swebooy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
