Staity31 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Hi everyone, I am a new member to Manta Club. About 8 years ago I was lucky to be the owner of an 1985 opel manta gte in black and had great fun restoring it! After 3 years I was forced to sell and regretted it since! So here I am looking for a project or a good example to be mine. Any help will be appreciated as I'm at a crossroads! I'm currently building a double garage to house and tinker my new addition which I'm hoping will be a Manta. Please feel free to reply about you as I'm interested in everyone's experiences, projects and current Opel's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irmscher Man Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Hi Darren and welcome to our forum. I hope you find it useful and a fun place to visits. As with most things like this, you tend to get out what you put in. Hopefully you will find a car for sale on here in the future, as it is one of the best places to find a Manta for sale on the internet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staity31 Posted August 1, 2017 Author Share Posted August 1, 2017 Thanks for the welcome guys.. Danny, I'm after a manta gte coupe not a hatch! I would prefer something with an mot or be drivable but would also consider something without if it didn't cost me an arm or a leg to transport! I'm not afraid of a little work to do on it as my last manta need a lot of tlc. Thanks Darren 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealExile Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Not a GTE but there is a silver 2 slot SR Project on EBay with GTE running gear. Pictures are not great and maybe it's my eyes but there may be some bubbling under the vinyl roof. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staity31 Posted August 2, 2017 Author Share Posted August 2, 2017 Hi terry, I did see that! It's an idea but wouldn't be the 1!!! Thinking about doing a gte hatch up until a coupe shows up..? i think it's going to be a tough challenge finding this manta... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealExile Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 They do show up from time to time, it's the waiting game until the right one for you comes up. A really good Project went the other day and I'm hoping to someone on here. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Opel-Manta-GTE-/192255927179?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&nma=true&si=Ibb52V6V%2BZUO0T3gn4Y%2FvR%2Fe2bY%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
