Zitat..reliant scimiter rear salisbury axle with jaguar powerloc differential...
It is interesting!
Our friend Keule in this forum has sold a Ascona 400 to realize his dream. And his dream is the real-thing!!

Hello to the united Island on the other side of the world....
Hi Rutts
Welcome in our nice Opel Manta A/Ascona A internet community.
Why did you get tired of your Manta B? Are you bored of the workless time after finishing?? Anyway. Start your new project and keep us informed about your successful finishing. By the way: Do you want to built an injection engine or will you use carburators?Have much fun and "don't worry ---- be happy!"
And if you need a helping hand in using a left hand driven german car: you are right here!
Bye
Michael

great to hear from you, nice to see where my Arches goes Sounds nice about 2.4 and the Jaguar Gearbox+Rearaxle should be very interesting!! Keep up the work!
-
trial fit need to start work now.
-
should fit what Tire/Rim Combination to you want to drive? These 15" Revos? I guess 8"wide with 225/45?
-
7 x 14inch et00 225/40/14 toyo proxy r888 tyres for track days. 195 45 14 for road driving.
next question do i keep LHD or bconvert to RHD ? -
- Offizieller Beitrag
RHD will very difficult, there no points for steering and other important things, and you must build an dashboard, not easy.
Another question: which wingwidening is it?
Für alle die englisch können: was sind das für Kotflügelverbreiterungen?
-
@ Yogi
Look at the Dashboards on the hood. There are two RHD Dashboards on it and in the 70`s you could buy the Manta in UK. I think the Ascona, too . And so you buy or rebuild the needed parts to build an RHD Ascona.
Do you remember the original D.O.T. Turbo Manta in Maschen and Löhne?
-
hab ich doch geschrieben das ich ihm die geschickt hab
von der optik her sind die wie die irmscher/steinmetz, allerdings nicht so breit, die haben vlt. eine efektive verbreiterung von 2cm oder so(Pro seite)
hab sie damals aus den Niederlanden von einem Ebay verkäufer gekauft, mir waren sie aber dann zu schmal -
my friend russ brough has genuine dot turbo a series, he also has a te2800 replica in picture, and 1.6 manta a series.
i have most parts to RHD cannot decide to change or leave LHD. -
From my point of view i would leave it on LHD. So it was built in the 70`s and i would do the same with an english car like an original RHD Austin Mini here in germany.
But it is your car and you must drive it. So you have to decide what you want to do. It is just your car !
But please do lots of photos of what you build and show us. Even if it is a bit difficult to upload them on this platform.Ohhh, i`m not happy with my english . F.....g grammar and missing vocabs !
