Renew, it shall be.

In relation to this post: My membership lapses tomorrow (06/04) should I renew or hang fire?

Wonder if 20 or 30 mins on low heat in a tumble dryer would sort the creases in the headliner.....

They never had the chrome trim around the rear that was cavalier only Ah, always suspected the Cavaliers were a cut above the others. 😉

Maybe its been patched up with odds n ends from other cars, strange that there is no chrome trim at the rear, (Bottom lip of tailgate & above rear lights) or maybe they never had them on the Opel hatch. Looks sweet, but steering wheel is on the wrong side..... What the heck is that all about 😆

Hoorah!! job done, not a big job & probably due to regular oil spraying for many years, they came out pretty easy. Used a small jack to push the new ones in & squash the rubbers a bit & got the top nut on easily. Small win but very satisfying.

Hi Ian, I have ordered a pair of QH ones that should be the correct size.

So..... if anyone needs a pair for your Manta, give me a shout, ain't no use to me.

What a smashing day, time to get those drop links replaced:- Well rub me down with a salted cod, the replacement ones (listed for MK 1 Cav) are too frikkin long. I am to say the least a touch miffed. Actually..... after checking the listing says suitable for Opel Manta B CC, so like a knob I assumed they would fit.

Look like early B or Cavalier, no holes for side indicarors or more modern bumber/airdam spoiler thingies.

Sadly that probable poverty spec two door mk1 Escort in pic 4 will be worth a fortune compared to a great manta in todays market.

Welcome, especially to another North Westerner..

Send money to my account..... 😅😅😅

Sounds really obvious, but make sure you havent pulled the light switch into the "OUT, interior light on" position. I only mention this as when I 1st got mine I couldn't find out why the light was on til I got the book out.... OOOPS, easy done if you don't know.

I traded a MK4 Cortina for the Sportshatch I have now in 1983 & was amazed how different (in a good way) the Cav drove.
