There are a number of us who are not on insta-twit-face-chat, but you can now post images dirrect on here (couldn't on the old forum) we would like to see the Manta you have found. Incidently you'll be able to join the South Wales temperance society, ask Spinney Norman about the Billing Initiation ceremony........

MANTAMAN Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Your Manta looks like decent example, true missing trim and fittings but it is straight. How solid underneath is it ? (the prime rust location being the chassie rails where the rear of the front subframe attaches and the front jacking points) You will have to start a thread in the projects section.

KEEFO 543 Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 Hi underneath is solid the only bits of welding i can see is the two primed areas on each rear sill , inner sills boot and under bonnet are all mint ,chassie and jacking points all original. am now on the hunt for all the missing interior/trim headlights rear lights carpets seats door glass rubber seals wiper motor and arms door locks, so if anyone has any usefull spares will be more than happy to buy many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
