Hah, awesome. Remember seeing the Green one before, so look forward to seeing how the new one turns out.

Shame Harriett got a BF and stopped spamming DW as she'd be peeing her pants right about now about that Manta.

I love old-skool Opels and Vauxhalls.

Gutted when the wankers at the local scrappy crushed a mint 30k mile Chevette even tho I was waving cash money in front of their faces to let me have it

E46 BMW M3 engine in a manta.....



Dude this is awesome

No way that could have a stock axle in it, they'd pop with that kinda power going though it!
