https://manuals.co/workshop/opel/manta/opel-manta-1975-1988-workshop-manual/5530647/275 I find it easier to look through manual, but you can copy and print the relevant pages from here. Which may come in useful.

I had messaged him today and asked for any more info or photo's which may have spurred him on to posting the pictures. That's not a lot of metal for £356, nothing that a decent fabricator couldn't make up with a little time and effort. Appears to be more about repositioning front shock mount than about added strength.

Be careful trying another coat before the first is properly dry as the thinners soak through and you’ll get a nice crinkled textured finish. Either paint when tacky or let it dry off completely . Also time consuming but I’m with Mike if you can flat between coats you’ll get a much better finish. Good luck

Any one know anything about this ? Will be interesting to see photos and what strengthening plates are needed and where. maybe something that could be posted in the Manta Modifications section. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F183699280296

Description changed from earlier then as it definitely said coupe. Still could be a reasonably cheep way into manta ownership for someone.

Hi Not sure if this is any help but this company will make fittings too match your requirements. May have to order too many so maybe not practical but you never know. http://colombofasteners.net/about-2/

Spotted your car on twitter today looking great 👍

Your welcome. Hope you get it sorted, he is accepting offers so like you say if they are in good enough condition it's worth travelling. Plus you get an off side wing to help cover the cost.
