oldwheels Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 Never seems a lot of logic when it comes to car sales I do like red Mantas Quote
MrCarlos Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Red one sold for £1200 , I know it was mine !!! 1 Quote
MANTAMAN Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Both these Manta's are a good starting point for anyone wanting a project because the are (apparantly) complete. Metal can be replaced even if some has to be fabricated from scratch, Mechanicals can be overhauled (though a CIH engine would survive a nucular bomb !) repainting though needing a professional can be done at dozens of locations throughout the UK, But Trying to replace damaged/broken trim can be really difficult and any project very hard to complete.

Mike. Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 I went to see this one. It's too big a project for me. How do I add pictures? It may help someone on here or save a journey of anybody is interested. 1 Quote
®evo03 Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 (edited) More pics would be good! Much appreciated Edited July 20, 2015 by brady Quote
MANTAMAN Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 How do I add pictures? untill the forum upgrade comes on stream you have to host them in photobucket or similar then link them to this website. Quote
Mike. Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 mikerobertson4.70970@uploads.photobucket.com I'm not good with technology, I have had to jump through hoops so let's hope this works photos uploaded on photobucket. My limits are copy and paste or drag and drop! Ha ha just showing my age! Hope this helps. Quote
1900SR Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 (edited) The pics that Mike took are here http://s567.photobucket.com/user/mikerobertson4/profile if that helps. Edited July 21, 2015 by 1900SR Quote
Mike. Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Thanks Steve I was going to have another try on Thursday when I'm home from Holliday, I was struggling to find the link I just need a point in the right direction. Cheers. Quote
evo3000 Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 The pics that Mike took are here http://s567.photobucket.com/user/mikerobertson4/profile if that helps. classic mhoh (manta house of horror) the usual suspects lurking beneath,its a wonder the st number plate is still attached to that back panel But I think its the steve Thompson connection that will give this poor girl the lifeline it needs.Hope someone in the club takes mercy on the old girl. Its not £700 better than the mr carlos one though so a deal needs to be struck for sure. Quote
