Kevin Abbott Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Looks good. I originaly looked at Mick Lomanos' car in about 1996 at RAF Woodvale and it showed me what you could do with a Manta, i loved that car[] Then i went to Billing and looked at Pete Narancics Turbo Coupe and it blew me away. Brings back memories of 10 years+ ago and feels like yesterday [^]. Glad to see the car in good hands mate.
