Recommended Posts

thought i would share my experience of discovering rust in the inner guard to bulk head seam a Manta B.

may be helpful for anyone looking at a Manta and knowing what to look for.

this car was a near new import to New Zealand and you may find its not as bad as some others of the same era.

the shell looked mint until it was media blasted.

perhaps others can share their similar nightmares?

All done in my shed.

There are other repair options for the Manta, I chose to do this one as it was the easiest one for me in NZ.

Everyone has an opinion on this subject, I am only posting this to share my experience after finding it very hard to find any decent information

I hope this helps anyone worried about a rust repair and simply needing to see what can be done.
