opelnz Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Looks rotten to me, but difficult to tell just from the pics. Probably another of these "barn finds" that have been sitting under a tree or in a hedge for the last decade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MANTAMAN Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 A straight Manta coupe for that price? doesn't matter if it needs the attension of the welder, basket cases are going for much more now, that was a good purchase for someone. Also two slots where made of better metal, little bit of a mix up of parts, the deep cowled headlights where deleated by 1977 and i am not sure the UK got lefthand wing mirrors till much later, add to this the wheels, bonnet stripes and what appears to be a painted roof suggest this Manta has been the subject of a modifier which could hold out the hope of it being on the road a lot more recently than some barn finds, hence not deteriorated as badly as a Manta 'found in a hedge' Wonder if this will pop up with a new member in the projects section?
