Description
Ok, so after much reflection, I'm thinking of passing my project on after the first major stage completed. So what have I got ? A complete rare Opel Manta 1974 (Mark 1) History ? Originally bought in Ireland, (so on Irish plates), I drove her for a couple of years as in the pictures before resto started. I then decided to strip her to start a full restoration. I sent the shell to be sand blasted professionally to see what we had under the paintwork. Their was little hidden much to our relief ! . Appart from a rotten jacking point and part of the nearby chassis. This small section of chassis with the jacking point was bought new from Germany and replaced by their highly skilled welder. The next stage ? After discussions of costs , and agreement of its condition worthy of being galvanised it was spray galvanised over the whole shell , panels , doors etc. Then undersealed with stone chip coating, and 2 coats of primer to seal the whole thing off. They guarantee the galvanise treatment on cars etc rust free for thirty years, and is therefore reflected in its current condition which is as is when it was done. Rust free , and ready for its next stage which is pretty much prep and the final spray job. Something, which if done professionally, doesn't come cheap. Everything has been stored and boxed accordingly. Bolts , nuts, small parts etc have been labelled in bags. 1.9 original engine has been benched and turned regularly by hand. Seats etc (original vinyl) stored in heated room in house. Original wheel rims along with set of alloys. Everything is complete. I have a minimum figure in mind, so anyone who knows the price of such a car fully restored will have an idea of further costs and its approximate present value so that is up for discussion. But please message initially via Done Deal email with a brief outline of your interest, thoughts etc This will allow following up on serious enquiries ONLY, which will be open to further discussion Many thanks.
