I thought you were going to make a carboard floor there for a min!  The look damn cool! |

Good skillz0rz! is that a 'proper' floor repair panel or did you make it yourself?

Thanks for the compliments guys. love the manta, don't think i've ever actually seen an A one from the front before oddly enough. that kadett is really nice too, not normally my kind of thing but that one's nice! Well, you probably did see them from the front before, only mine looks a little different from a standard one. Spot the differences. ;D   The Manta is heavily under cunstruction btw, it will look nicer when finished but it will keep that ratlook. Not sure if the front bumper will be back on or not. I converted it to single headlight what I think makes the car look alot wider. The Kadett I bought 1,5 years back, second owner and only ran 30.000 real kms!!! (about 18.000 miles) I lowered it using shorted springs from a Mercedes E320 cdi with sportpackage on the front and Manta B lowering springs on the back. Yellow Koni's all around. The ride is hard but really sticks to the road like nothing else. Steers like a go-kart. I love it. That floorpanel was a 'proper' repairpanel but needed altering to go with the widend transmissiontunnel. |

The single lights and chin spoiler make it look like a Camaro SS (circa '69) which is, in my view, ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! *n |

I converted it to single headlight what I think makes the car look alot wider. ahh, you're completely right actually, i thought it was weird that it didn't look familiar! really like that actually, the standard is nice enough but those few mods on the front suit it pretty well. The single lights and chin spoiler make it look like a Camaro SS (circa '69) which is, in my view, ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! *n i was thinking that too actually, but didn't say anything in case no-one else agreed with it! |

The manta does look camaroesque and good at it at that. welcome, you'll fit in fine with 3 top quality retro's with crazy plans and real progress; what dreams are made of.  Nice one |

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts  |

The car weighs about 1300 kg with the heavy engine and lpg install so it won't be flying. 5.0 V8 has some potential though so maybe i'll tune it later (supercharger sounds nice to me )but for now it's not really about speed. I just love the v8 rumble and feel. |

Great selection of quality retro-age there. Like the single headlamp look on the A with the bumper, and that Amazon is perfecto. Welcome |
