White spirit on a vast collection of rags works wonders on the tar residue.  Glad the 'DTM' zorst found its way to the bin. |

Cheers guys.  I'll try the white spirit on the mess from the tar! Looks much better than my last one though would much rather have a tarry floor than no floor like my old 1.8s! ;D |

Right guys time for a quick update. Unfortunately not going to be able to work on the manta for a wee while. Was out at a friends party on sat night slipped on black ice and went over a low wall that led to a 14ft drop into a river!  Was very lucky and only suffered a broken wrist. Hit it on a steel pipe on way down. Unfortunately this now leaves me off work temporarily (have to get an opp to straighten my wrist and 2 pins put in) And unable to work on my car. In the meantime heres a pic courtesy of my mate chris and photoshop ;D of how i'd like the manta to look. Hes dropped it a wee bit and put the 6 spokes on. Thinking 6 spoke white compomotives are the way to go. Opinions please.  |

Bloody hell, bad luck mate! The compos look nice on the Manta  I think the slight colour differences make it looks real nice. |
