Thebishop Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 Finally after 6 months of looking I got my dream car. 1984 Opel Manta 1.8 coupe non sunroof. Have pics but haven't a clue how to put them up!!!!! HELP 2 Quote
MANTAMAN Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 Hi Ross, to post pictures on here you can 'drag' them from another window but there is a 2.44mb size limit. You can resize them before attempting to drag them onto your post but i always find it hard to get this right, i still post my pictures the old way, host them on photobucket first then use the 'insert other media' button at the bottom right to copy the url and link the picture into my post Quote
Danny D114BCW Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 Same issue again. Why is this site do tricky to add pictures? Quote
1900SR Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 Most of the sites I use rely on linking from Photobucket or the like, it's really not difficult once you've done it a couple of times. 1 Quote

Thebishop Posted January 21, 2016 Author Posted January 21, 2016 Cheers thanks Brady, there's always one!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Does anybody know if I can change the head lights for the quads? Or would you leave them original. All suggestions greatly appreciated Quote

Mike. Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Tidy! How did you manage to prise that off the last owner? I would have thought that would be impossible!! Quote
Thebishop Posted January 21, 2016 Author Posted January 21, 2016 Yep I think your right Brady will leave it as is. Will get pics of interior tomorrow and attempt to upload !!!!! I just kept on to seller Quote
®evo03 Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 When you get you photo to that drop box thingy, look for a copy option, it could be a share option, or if you got a phone etc, select image or double click it, or hold control c, then go to omoc, and hit control v. C is copy, v is paste. You can edit you post, until you get it right. Its like riding a bike! Quote
Thebishop Posted January 21, 2016 Author Posted January 21, 2016 Cheers will give it ago tomorrow night. Quote
Thebishop Posted January 21, 2016 Author Posted January 21, 2016 Cheers robah, I'm totally new to the scene. I always wanted an opel manta, so I'm trilled, I just hope it drives as good as it looks Quote
Rick-Manta Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 If you did decide on some quads then I do have a pair of the frames which I'm sourcing some new lamps for. Once I've got them, then I would straight swap for the squares if it was of interest. Great looking coupé, I like the 400 'touch' that the door decals give it and that ties it in nicely with those wheels. The Manta decal on the front bumper looks a bit out of place though. Would it be rude to ask what you paid for it or would you rather not say? :-D Quote
Berlinetta Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Nice Manta Ross! You did well to find the right one so "soon" (it took me many years to find a suitable chrome-bumper B!). Best of luck with it! Quote
Thebishop Posted January 21, 2016 Author Posted January 21, 2016 Thanks, should I remove sticker and what should I replace with? Quote

H-400 Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 Great looking car! Keep those square head lichts! This is a picture of my GSI, so you can see what sticker you need: 2 Quote

H-400 Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Looks nice! Check the trunk-lid of my car, we've got the same logo! Pm me your civil adress, think I've got such a "GSI" decal to replace the other sticker. 1 Quote
