jonnyboy54321 Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 That's the actual car that restarted the bug for me after the best part of 30 manta/cavalier coupe less years. Was for sale near where i was born, was on c&c, bloke was hard work, it was/wasnt/was/wasnt for sale. Then disappeared and gone to someone else - the day my brother was going to view to view it someone posted on fb it was his new car, midlands iirc. Those posts disappeared. And here it is. I researched the other night and found some notes online saying it needed sills and both front floors were u/s as well as the normal chassis stuff. No info on roof though. I suspect it to be way worse than it looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its absolutely bollocked underneath, the current owner bought the panels etc and looked towards getting the work done, i saw pics on fb i think but it would take real dedication to do it, ultimately not worth it on a hatch economics wise. Might be worth fixing if sat on for another 5 years ?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
