Little progress...

Rollcage should be ready by the end of the week.

Tomorrow i can start putting engine back together when pistons arrive from machinery.

Mikko · 30-03-2007, 21:12

Cage fitted, should i paint it Silver or Black...? I wanted to keep interior and rear seats, new carpet and headliner are waiting for assembly, thats why the sidebars and diagonal(?) are loosable.

Mikko · 10-06-2007, 21:42

Haven´t taken any new pics of this, but it´s been ready over one month. I did won the first race of Finnish drift series with it, second race with Nordic series drifters didn´t go o good, i managed to finish seventh. Still at first at overall points...

I did also finally dynoed the car.

306hp/418nm, not bad for 60´s design inline six...

GmasterT · 10-06-2007, 23:06

aawwwwww yeah! Im in actual love with this mean dream machine!!

Mikko · 13-10-2007, 18:36

Here are few pics about Manta´s current condition, last updates were from year ago. In these new engine and rollcage.
