adz the stig Posted April 14, 2014 Author Share Posted April 14, 2014 How much do you guys think it's worth? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickappy Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 (edited) so its not a real 400? 4 stud wheels? I think there was only 1 rwd 400 made.. I may be wrong. looks in real bad condition. probably worth saving if its a gen 400.. Edited April 14, 2014 by mickappy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adz the stig Posted April 14, 2014 Author Share Posted April 14, 2014 Na man it's no a real one. It's a early berlietta 1.9 79 I think. It's not in fantastic condition but there is a lot of solid car left. If not I'll ether store it in a barn or cut it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adz the stig Posted April 14, 2014 Author Share Posted April 14, 2014 I'd happily swap it for a panel for my white coupe. Found a ascona panel in it. And a fancy vauxhall spoiler dtm?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Autocrosser Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 How much do you guys think it's worth? Depends on what it's got eg what axles in it? Does it have a quickrack fitted? Also it looks like a decent kit on it as the rear wheel arch doesn't have the cut out for the filler neck and the cage looks ok from the pics. Where there any other rally type parts with it?

mantadoc Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Bilsteins: If the rods aren't rusty in the "swept area" and you stand then up, push them to shortened length and they return to full length themselves they still have pressure, if each on in the pair do it at same rate they should be about half right at least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adz the stig Posted April 14, 2014 Author Share Posted April 14, 2014 You are a legend. I will try that tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MANTAMAN Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 whats it worth? really depends on condition, if under that scruffy exterior is a rot free non sunroof shell that has been correctly strengthened for rallying then would be a better starting point than a lot of Manta's people are tackling, the cage is worth something ( exactly how much i don't know ) does it have a quick rack? decent back axle ( LSD fitted ) ? is it a decent body kit ? etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew carver Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Where abouts are you ? And how much are you wanting for the shell . If you don't want to sell the lot I would be interested in the roof and nose cone. Cheers Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MANTAMAN Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Sounds like it's a proper rally car, with the quick rack, LSD axle and variuos other improvememnts not just a dressed up GTE, that actually sounds like a list of expensive parts. we do need photo's, enticing us with stories of how it's getting on, were all eager to see just what state it was in and what you've had to do the repair it.
