Monaco Blue Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Blimey! .....that's an enviable selection of OEM panels for sure! Must be worth more than the car! There can't be many projects where the welding gear will be barely required! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bris jas Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Love the engine, did you or do you work for Vauxhall? Back in the day when i did these panels were thrown out as couldn't sell them years after the Manta, if only the crystal ball was working back then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of them did back in the day when a local smt Vauxhall Opel dealer shut down I’ve been collecting for twenty years 🙂 1 hour ago, Danny D114BCW said: A good hoard there! if you look and of course can afford the parts are there.

®evo03 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Ah the interesting parts are commodore axle brackets! Why so many new panels, is the car really that bad? Need rust photos Some interesting panels, kickpanels, inner b posts, inner rear sill sections. Any bits you cannot find? 2 exhaust hangers! V8? There is only 1 photo, what are these? Inner chassis legs? Doubt it? Woo this car is gonna cost alot, you know there is a nice exclusive for sale, very cheap at 20k! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woo this car is gonna cost alot, you know there is a nice exclusive for sale, very cheap at 20k! It’s not bad I just prefer to pick out panels and replace rather than patch 🙂 I’ve managed to find every outer panel over the years 🙂 the parts in the pic above are the genuine gm strengtheners used when replacing swan necks 🙂 they are in the factory body repair manual I’ll dig it out at some point 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
®evo03 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 That would be interesting, to see them used, and the handbook manual. Is it available as a pdf or just print. This is gonna be an interesting project, keep em photos coming! Any bits you cannot find yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the original paper factory repair manual I’ll need to dig it out and picture it 🙂 nothing I haven’t found that I need 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
®evo03 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 You need to see this before you start, words fail me, those chassis legs! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MANTAMAN Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 That horde of panels would make the basis of a comprehensive repro panel supply. There are moves afoot to get panels re-made but it needs original NOS panels to create the tooling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
