I would love a manta project, but as with any older car, finding a good one is a nightmare

just been watching some vids of it on the tube. sounds like a remote control car. absolutely awesome. i can remember jr posting it up aswell.

manta is definitely top of the list for cars to put my engine into. i think a chevette would just be too short really.

finding a coupe in decent condition is hard work unless you dont mind spending quite a lot of cash

hatch's are much easier to come across for decent money but not as good looking

got my dads a couple of months ago for £600, all it needed was a cam follower and i little bit of work to get it running, and is in pretty good condition too

theres a few good ones for sale on here http://www.mantaclub.org/

im not that fussed about having to do work on it really if i was to get one. i couldnt live with a hatch knowing i wanted a coupe really.

im prepared to spend good money on one if its to replace the corsa. going to have to start to save a few g's first though. then work out what gearbox, diff etc to use.

a mate of my dads has an orignal courtenay turbo, except it runs a stroked motor(2.7 instead of 2.2) but not ran properly since doing the 2.7, as all the wiring is shocking!

that ornage manta with the 5pot in sounds awesome and goes like a rocket.

that video got him mapping it with no doors where he gets stopped by police?(in work thats all so cant see video!)
