The interior has been re-trimed and the door and seat material was a reproduction of the Opel Blitz material thats was found in the i240 i400 road cars.
The orginal just isn't available so some friends of mind in the US had this re-done, had to have a 1000 meter run done and now have enough for one car set left which is spoken for.
If we get enough deposit paid ordered we will do another run but a 1000 mtrs is alot of cars.
Engine is coming out again in the winter and we are having a 2.4 Blue Printed engine built and the engine bay will be stripped and repainted.
The owners very pleased with the car but hes trying to find some 20mm higher springs at the moment as these have a 40mm drop which is a little harsh but it does stick like...... to a blanket round the bends
So now i have that coming back. I've a roof skin to fit to another coupe, complete bare shell rebuild on another, some touch up work to do on the 79 coupe to get ready for the 40th Manta Birthday trip to Holland in Sept, a Nova 16v to put back together, a Senator A1 thats having a half rebuild and will then be going to North Caroliner, my GT has got to be started and i've got to started on getting the V6 block in my Manta so i can start on the mounts and exhaust.
Oh and not forgetting the Omega which i'm collecting parts for as thats ear marked for a bare shell re-build as well....one day
I'm half way setting up a Blog for all this work to go on but the PC has now packed in, oh well onwards and upwards
