LostSoul Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Looks fab! Sail panels look amazing without the vents breaking-up the lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
611 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I wonder why the petrol cap has been moved? Not the normal place for an A. Could it be using a tank from the B? Andy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mantaray Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 (edited) Nice find. Didn't know that existed, must have been taken while I was walking round the show as the bonnet is shut. This video was taken at Cars in the park in Leamington spa last year. The BMW 1602 next to mine belongs to a good friend and an ex manta club member. As Chris B mentioned, the car is heavily modified, running : 2.5l Vectra V6, R28 Omega box, custom mounted 4HA Scimitar axel with LSD, connected to the box via a custom prop. There is a full build thread on here in the project section under, Work starts on the mk 2 , V6 A series Edited January 23 by mantaray 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a full build thread on here in the project section under, Work starts on the mk 2 , V6 A series Thought it might be that one! I've only ever seen the one A with a V6 in it that i can remember 🙂 Didn't recognise it in that colour 🙂 Im sure i've seen it at the old Opel meets before but never noticed the petrol cap in that position!! Must have been some work getting that in there with the exhausts? Had enough problems getting mine in with the old CIH 🙂 Nice little video of it.

®evo03 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Great build, and V6 looks at home. Looks stock, and belongs there. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
