Jack Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Your Gold Coupe looks pretty good to be honest. I went to work on a coupe today, the same as yours but a white one. Looking at your pictures it looks in good solid shape, like you said there are a few rusty bits like the wheel arch but it shouldn't be too much of a struggle to complete.

Jack Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Your gold Manta is the Coupe relative to my friends gold Hatchback. I am guessing that your gold coupe is going to be a Manta 400 replica? Jack. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil Fish Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I can't help thinking that a Gold 400r would be immense. Good luck with it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Nice lift by the way and will make everything a whole lot easier for when you put it back together and want to add any protection to the bottom of your Manta. Are you going to keep it gold by the way or a different color 400R? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
