C997 VLF - Manta B GT/E Modified

More club cars?

Owner: Oliver Woodall

 

I am currently a member of the OMOC, attached is a pic of my car taken recently. It currently resides outside my house in Portslade, near Brighton.
 
C997 VLF was bought for around £600 from a guy in Kent around about Dec'99. It began life as a Standard White GTE which had turned a lovely 'nicotine' yellow colour.
 
Since then, it has remained standard but has been resprayed in a close approximation of Fiat "Broom Yellow". The rotting sunroof roof skin was replaced with a non-sunroof skin, attached from about midway down the pillars. An aftermarket twin headlight set has been added and a Trevor Lewis 400 bonnet.

 

The Engine, suspension and exhaust is completely standard with no modifications at all. It has the chicago grey recaro interior.
 
Jobs left to do include fitting a headlining, adding a set of 400 wing mirrors, chasing the alarming number of re-appearing rust 'bubbles' and repairing some pretty nasty damage to the scuttle panel and bonnet edges caused by the bonnet pulling up in some wind without being secured....."doh".
 
In future I'd like to fit a 16 valve C20XE but funds have run out!.........

Would you like to see more club cars?
