The car


So this is my 1987 Opel Manta. Its heavily modified but hasnt seen the road since 2005, funnily enough not long after finding out my daughter Daisy was on the way....
Anyway its running a c20xe 16v Vauxhall engine on QED throttle bodies. Its got Willwood brakes, LSD, uprated suspension, 16" Team dynamic wheels, lots of body mods, lots of interior changes and.... well lets be honest, its not got much left on it that hasnt been changed or altered in some way. original it is not.

Hopefully I can get the engine rebuilt this year (knackered pistion rings) and get it back on the road by 2011. Apart from a few runs out in 2005 this thing has lived in my garage for the last 10 years now, the rebuild started in August 2000!
