I go most years but alas the Manta isn’t ready this time. Still not sure if I’ll go on Saturday or Sunday afternoon. I’m hoping to see a certain Cavalier with a RED interior there too 😎 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure, depending if it’s out on Sat am, figure it tomorrow 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trooker Posted May 12 Author Share Posted May 12 I only made it this afternoon and people were leaving from 2pm. No Mantas but it was a beautiful day and I saw Bilbo’s Cav & a Kadett. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would have been a great run, what are the next steps with the A or will you start a project thread? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started it ages ago mate, we rebuilt it here (me and my lad) upto A posts, but lack of some panels and lack of time meant it best to take to Adrian to have rest done. It’s no pretty currently, but as the saying goes - beauty is in the eye of the beholder 😁 it’s now solid, not a bit of rot left on the shell. Adrian has done an amazing job for me. Really chuffed 🥳 it’s been a real struggle this one for some parts and panels for sure, proper tested my resolve at times 🤬 I have collected lots of pics over its restoration so far, so I could do a thread, probably closer to the end though. So it will be swapped out at the bodyshop for one nearly done (my Monza coming back, yay!) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great to have a solid base, Adrian does some fantastic work, I saw Tom’s hatch when it was about 80-90% done. Can’t remember when I last saw a road-going Monza! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be interested in a project thread for the A and the Monza. People who don’t want it can ignore it after all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessopia74 Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Yeah, you are right. I just didn’t think there would be much interest as not a Manta. But I’ll do one for each at some point. Adrian dud a cracking job on the Monza , but it was no where near as bad as some he tackles (luckily for me! ). Sneaky picture as the guys at the bodyshop pulled the engine to do the bay, plus it won’t be going back in 😉 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
