I remember that car from my Manta days !! iirc the kit is a Mattig Extreme kit :confused1: which in it,s self wasn,t cheap , i fitted a cheaper less brash version on mine called the Elegance kit .

Thats nice Allan, some of my friends had Mantas when I had the X pack 2.8i Capri but thats going back a few years now:)

I had the 400 body kit on mine. As a young driver, it often needed a few little repairs... Lol

Had an A-series as well, but never managed to get it on the road.

Would like another one of those

The twin headlamp conversion with 4x 110w bulbs drained the battery faster than the alternator could charge it, dread to think what that 4x cibie pod would have done to it

I had the Elegance rear spoiler on my first 400 replica! :D

 

And just for Gary: I later bought a 3.0 converted 400 replica that had the obligatory 4 Super Oscars bolted on. :)

 

The MegaManta in question... I always preferred the Mantzel Evolution widearch kit myself:

 

 

Every now and again, I'll look on the Bay to see what mantas are available... but I know I sadly don't have the money to do one justice... superb cars!

A girlfriend of mine had a Manta GTE, it was brilliant fun.

My first was a 1.9sr A series and a good few years later bought a basket case one to restore, bought a Rover v8 and manual box to fit in it as well , half retored it and then it just sat on my garden for many years , scrapped it when we moved house :thumbdown:

Wanted some for this one but could never afford to get them !

Had a couple of cheapies though

Just found this one of the now recycled A series

Also this is the GTE as i bought it damaged and jigged it back to health :biggrin:

does bodymech have any more eye candy from the recent work? ;)

There,s some pics on our facebook page bud , i,m still having issues with the forum as i can,t seem to be able to start a new thread which is bizzare .

Toms was our last biggy but we,ve just got another in so when Darren starts a build thread about this i can stick some pics up :yes:
