TOM MURRAY Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Slow start to the rebuild. Got the old girl fired up and running though. Nice smooth engine and the auto box working good. Starting to to pull parts together that I will need, Looking for a good drivers wing and a roof panel. Would take a roof panel either with or without sunroof. If anyone knows of any please let me know. Project images are available to Club Members Only, Click to become an OMOC Member.

Sutty2006 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Excellent work. Give CAVALIERCOUPE a message he’s usually cutting a hatch up. If you need any spare 1.8 engine parts let me know, I’ve loads. But no sumps. Mainly alloy parts see for sale section. I do like a 1.8 hatch. Great engine and easy to get running well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H-400 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Succes with the rebuild. My second Manta was also a 1.8, nice engine. Read in those days an article in a German magazine that the 1.8S engine had 96Hp (tested) but Opel downsized that number to keep the 20S in production. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutty2006 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 90hp the 1.8 was. 110 from a 2.0e. Then the 2.2 gave 115hp. A great upgrade is the 2.0SEH engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
