Opeloutbacks Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 How many Mantas are left that haven't been welded and are all original, anyone know of any, I imagine quite rare? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mepbowles Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 I'm sure there are some, many/most store them in dry garages if theyre any good. I've never seen a problem with welding, as long as it's done right. In some cases, it gives an opportunity to add extra rust proofing better than spraying cavities ever could.

Sutty2006 Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 I know of a GTE exclusive on the F plate that’s never been welded, nor does it need any! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1900SR Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Not a Manta, but this is totally original and never been welded. It does need some though... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that include cars that have had oem panels professionally replaced? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
