Hey Manta fans.Greetings from ESTONIA.
Got this Manta about few months back.Big works has done with bodywork and painting.In back there is a Senator A axle with discs,the bolt pattern is 5x120.The engine is from the Omega 3000(Carlton gsi?).The box is from the Senator A again 5speed manual Getrag.Why I started this topic is because I am from Estonia and we dont have much Mantas in here left and I bought this car as a half way project and I need alot of info and help from you guys.

Hi and welcome. I really like your car, the colour scheme is just right and the wheels look cool. I used to run the same engine in my A Series manta a few year's ago. There are loads of people on here who will be more than willing to help you solve any manta problems you may encounter.

Can someone tell me from where I can get sunroof seal?

[mantaraver]

It may be urban legend, but I seem to remember reading about how someone may have used possibly a vw golf seal. At least I think it was a golf. Sounds plausible at least.
  A scrapyard scavenge could be on the cards !!

I've heard the Golf seal fits too.  Car looks great, any suspension mode planned?  Would look even better if it was lower
