It’s been a hard build this one but chuffed with the result 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny D114BCW Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 The time, effort and money we put into this car was bonkers. The paint was four figures alone. Will make somebody a good car and the build has been fully documented from start to end. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monaco Blue Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 (edited) Looking at both this one and the pale blue one that's also currently for sale, you realise how good looking those early B's were when new! If it weren't for the headlamp surrounds I'd have thought this was more like a W plate albeit with chrome bumpers. The only thing that takes a bit of getting used to is the questionable colour palette Opel used in the interior. BTW, how's D114BCW coming along?

Danny D114BCW Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 I think it needs a Daytona check interior fitting but we wanted to keep it where the new owner could do what they wanted hence subtle mods which could be put back. My coupe is coming on slowly, welding is getting there and all the running gear etc etc is now powdercoated. Just a long slog and I don’t have the time. Neil Boylan has been doing the welding up to now and has been a total hero. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

®evo03 Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Asking too much.............way over priced! Just kidding, it is what it is, try finding a better one! Fair play looks very period! Heres mine, shows what can be done to take the grandpa look of it, lowered, bilstein stock period 8inch ats, chrome and body coloured bumper, daytona check, corsa b power steering. As danny said, everything can be removed, and reverted back to a 70s hit! Id rather stick a m3 enngine in it and a volvo back axle, but....... weirdly its my favourite manta, and yeh its a 1.6 4 speed, so no warp speed. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny D114BCW Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Thanks Evo. Yours looks great! Honestly even if we got the asking price it’s still not been worth it. but it will hopefully be enjoyed and looked after and is another one saved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to hear your own Coupe is coming along. Not surprised you don't have time to work on it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisb Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Looks pretty much perfect to me. You guys have done a lovely job on this one. Love the fact you kept the original interior looks right at home. Good luck with the sale. Hope it finds a good home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Horan Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Beautiful car lads, looks the business. Only issue which is minor - Not a fan of screwing on the bumper rubbers from the outside with star head screw!! Otherwise well done👍 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately the screws were already in the rubbers when we bought it & due to how rare new ones are and the fact we have spend 1000s on it, we decided enough was enough and we had to let it slide. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you could have improved the situation with the screws by putting the 4 points of the screw head at north ,south ,east and west at least Dan 🤣🤣 they say you shouldn't laugh at your own jokes but if I don't , who will ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
