At first, sorry for my language mistakes, hope you understand all...

Here�s little story about my Manta. I bought it 2001 and allthought it was good condition now in for years i have build the car completely again.
In Finland this car is very rare because there are strict limits in engine swaps, this cars engine swap have originally been made to 6 cylinder by original owner in early 80�s when it was still possible...

I like your car, I have some questions. I have a 1971 Opel Manta but I need a full frame instead of a sub frame. Do you know where I could get one, and where did you get the body kit?
