mantadoc Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 It'll be a great car when done but I'm not a fan. It's not a 4x4 converted Manta it's a Ford 4x4 chassis wearing a Manta Suit. I know that is a trend these days with S2000 wearing Kadett Coupe skins etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
