Hey everybody, thought i'd share a few pics of my Manta with you guys. I've been into Mantas for a few years now and not long finished a complete resto on my coupe. Heres a pic of my old hatch, it got written off in 2008   And the coupe I have now, running a standard 16v XE engine.    Hope you like them. Cheers, Peter. |

Thanks guys, still have the Revos, think they're pretty rare so going to refurb them with dark grey centres and maybe put them back on.
Cheers, Peter.

Love the Manta such a pity about the hatch but the coupe looks really well, how much is it lowered, its sittin well at the front. Big thumbs up |
| |
I love these, they have the "hooligan" look about them straight from the factory!

It is a damn shame about the hatch, still makes me sad.
I'll dig through some photos and put some pics of the resto up yeah.
It's a set of 60mm springs but I reckon the fronts 70 if not lower! Lower the better though!
I have a few more 80's cars, an 87 XR3i, an 88 Orion Ghia, a 1980 twin wheel transit and a sierra 3 door cosworth project. Oh and my daily driver Cavalier GSi so i'll have to get some pics of them up too! ;D
Cheers, Peter.

God I love Mantas, and those two look amazing!
Dave ja vu though as my uncle used to have a hatch like yours which he restored and a few weeks after he'd finished, someone ran into it and wrote it off.

Laguna splitter looks ace. lower the better for definate, its a pity nobody makes coilovers for them  My manta has 60's at the front and sits well at the front but the back will have to come down a bit. Liking the sound of a Gsi daily driver |
