Why don't you just pay the £15 and become a web member? Problem re photos sorted then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANDY ABBOTT Posted April 16, 2021 Author Share Posted April 16, 2021 Lots of stuff has gone on the car since my last update. Doesn't seem much point in doing a detailed write up on here anymore as the site is dead and only the odd couple of people seem to follow the build here so I'll keep it short and sweet and just update with pictures instead just for future reference. I've been doing my regular updates on my Facebook page which has a much bigger following and more interest in the build.

Trooker Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 (edited) Following the build on fb as well but this is a great build to keep a record of here too if it’s not too much hassle. There’s still a lot of views still on this site if the built-in counter has any credibility but it hasn’t had a widespread culture of ‘likes’ for posts. Fb is for the now, a post has a life of, what, a week? Have tried searching fb for older info & it ain’t fun but I totally get that’s where the people are even if much of the rest of the fb noise is maddening 🤪 Cool build btw! 👌 Edited April 18, 2021 by Trooker 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutty2006 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Always better on here. Facebook is a quick shot gone tomorrow kind of place. Here, it’s engraved a bit deeper. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessopia74 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Agreed with both above. The forum is a long term record of the restoration, FB is for instant updates. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

®evo03 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Yeh keep posting here, at least here it is the omoc, and not some random liking because of the colour etc! I just never got it, plus you get the option of compiling the info into printed form as a keepsake. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think COVID may have had something to do with it. I f**king hate Facebook in general. I deleted it off my phone years ago. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonga Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I use both FB and the forum. I feel the forum information is a lot more in depth. Some threads are like As close as you'll get to a manual on how to restore a manta. Im cracking on with mine now and tbh couldn't have done it without looking through some of the build threads in this forum. Myself and others appreciate the time it takes to post pictures and write all the tasks out. Car looks amazing Andrew. It's a credit to the work that you've put in. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same reason the magazine died. Facebook killed it off. Has facebook a history, an archive that you can look back on, or does it disappear? Threads on here are a great reference, as was the magazine, some really good documents have been lost here too, yeh it takes time, effort and sometimes no reply, but you gotta ask yourself why are you doing it, for yourself, instant likes, or a documented history, you can be sure you are addressing kindred spirits on here. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
