Chrome Bumpered Srb Hatch Auto
30 July 2011 - 06:35 PM
A couple of years ago Andy got a Manta SRB which belonged to an old mad who had died. The family wanted it to be saved so it was collected from Scotland back to Lincolnshire and repair work started. Time, children and other cars slowed down the progress until it stopped.
Now its restoration is happening again, I have it at my place now to help with the work and get it all sorted and get the welding done. It was on the Opel NEC Motorshow stand in 1978 and was bought at the show. He couldnt get it straight away as it was before the UK release date of the Hatch so he got it later on. It was registered on a Glasgow area T plate but the family kept the reg and its on one of the cars they own. It has a new T reg number now.
It has only done 30k miles and runs very very well. Its a silver Automatic with perfect unfaded blue velour interior due to seat covers being on since new
It needs a pair of sills, a pair of arches, a pair of wings, the other jacking point and door post repairing. The front valance and headlamp surrounds are rough but I have replacements for all the panels execpt one sill. Its now stripped to a running shell, I actually drove it today for the first time, I suspect its the first time its done 40mph for a long time I have access to a long private road from my house
Brakes work, usual tight calipers but it all works. Autobox is a bit slow to engage but its been unused for several years so who can blame it, I expect with a fluid change and filter clean it will be ok.
I was issued a challenge from the wife on the previous Billing weekend that there is no real reason why this one cant be at Billing 2012
So thats the plan, have this all finished painted and at Billing next year...

Mk1 Cavalier 2000Gl

This is a bad day for me, I dont use it and need the money for bills
SKD 48T Mk1 2000GL in very good condition with only 43K from new, was a 1600 but I fitted a rebuilt 2 litre so it would be the same as my Dads old car. Currently hidden away from winter and salt but will be out to get a Full MOT when a sale looks likely.
Won 2nd in the Cavalier/Ascona class at Billing 2009 only beaten by Ian Goachers fantastic Ascona B.
It has an Unleaded head fitted from a later Manta with excellent camshaft not worn as usual Cavaliers.
4 matching 165 13 Good Year Grand Prix S tyres, all wheels recently sandblasted and painted silver, new exhaust rear box, new rear wheel cylinders and front shocks.
Has a genuine GM swanneck towbar with single electrics only used once to tow a caravan to Billing
Paint is good all round, 2 minor chips on the nose one stone, one Pheasant, bottom of doors are good only slight marks creeping through the paint if you look close.
See if there is any interest it will have to go on Ebay.
£1250 ish open to near offers and lastly its near Market Rasen Lincolnshire.
