Honest advert, certainly needs a lot of welding.  Ideal job for Chip Foose.  Complete strip down and shot blast the body shell (wonder if there would be any of the shell left.  ::))

If I had the space, equipment time and money I reckon it would be an interesting project.

A bit of rolled up news paper pushed into the sills and a good coat of underseal should fool the mot man  :-X :-X  ;D

Seroius question, what sort of plenum / throttle body is that ?

its a pity its not a bit more 'solid' !! would make a nice project. Dont see to many Manta A's now. come to think of it not many B's either. I had a B, it was a great car.
