It's been ages since I updated this thread, since I got the Manta I've now put an SEH in it.
.
I had to put a swirl pot in as it's the carb tank still, even with 20 litres left you can hear the low pressure pump running dry when you give it some round a roundabout as all the fuel sloshes away in the tank. There's an electric fan now too, and I managed to get the ECU in the drivers footwell to with only minimal lengthening of the loom. The only bit of the conversion I'm not too happy with is I used a spare 1.8 manta clutch I had knocking about which is struggling with the extra power and has started slipping.
On the outside it's much the same really, rusty as f***.
I never got round to ankor waxing it so it's been au naturel all winter. This summer it should be going off for a respray though, probably in commercial white as suggested or maybe the original polar white depending on costs. Pretty happy with it really, just waiting on some -40 springs and adjustable avos from TJM, then it needs some new tyres to replace the nasty perished things on there.

. The only oddity I could see was that I've used the cav coil, so that uses the original plug. Then there's green plug emerges from the loom near that with a green wire on it that I've soldered to the manta tach wire which used to be connected to the manta coil. This way it keeps the joins nice and waterproof using the original cav plugs. Everything else was pretty self explanatory really. Let me know if you need more detail on anything.
