Dom400 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Found this one on ebay Germany, maybe the club should be purchasing to remanufacture? https://www.ebay.de/itm/NEU-ORIGINAL-OPEL-Manta-B-Seitenwand-Seitenteil-SET-LINKS-RECHTS-Blech-NOS/254282163651?fits=Model%3AManta+B&hash=item3b3465e5c3:g:i20AAOSwqXxdGhnl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

®evo03 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Hands up who needs quarters, not me.......yet! Hopefully never! Seriously would be interesting who needs them, maybe im wrong, but any manta needing a quarter or two is scrapped, are there enough mantas out there needing them? Or maybe some are interested in building an all new panel car, just for the crack, but it would never be completely new panels. As long as someone doesnt recast ronal rims, ive loads worth scrap value! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom400 Posted July 2, 2019 Author Share Posted July 2, 2019 Expensive but try and find another pair, I know drivers side is super rare. Also I was unlucky enough to get hit on rear quarter, would be nice to know panels could be replaced at a lower price than that eBay item!

Black GTE Coupe with a solid chassis and low mileage is far too good to scrap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymanc Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 The club already purchased a pair iirc cant see there being much demand for them though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealExile Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Might save some insurance write offs, appreciate demand won't be huge but if I had the cash I'd buy a pair as insurance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the panel place won’t want confirmed orders for the panels before they make them as I guess they will cost a lot to make be handy to get some if a accident happened dont think I would have the money to buy a pair for just in case as am sure many other people aren’t either 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealExile Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Guess it depends on the panel manufacturer but perhaps once they press one of each then they have the mould/pattern and could make them to order as required, be more expensive but at least if you got hit by someone your Manta wouldn't be a write off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike. Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Would be fine to have a list from the club of which panels they have been able to source for re manufacture at some point and which ones they are still looking for, just for clarity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evo3000 Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Given the choice I would have a whole panel to replace a rotten arch rather than a repair section, to try and make it look more factory original,as a lot of the time the profile of the arch is compromised with repair sections, albeit at greater expense😲having said that I would do the honourable thing and cut out the offending arch out of the equation and put a wide arch kit on instead.😋 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
