I hope you have got the rest of the bodykit, or it will look strange

no...

i have a hatch sadly. i just needed the bonnet to vent better and it'll lose some weight.

i need to get her on the track this year once i get a job! got a kent cam to go with the peter burgess head. it has a jetex exhaust but it annoys me, so as soon as some money comes in i'm goning tos hell out on a ashley manifold and exhaust. should sound the nuts then, and hopefully give it some more low down torque.

stick an old senator 3.0 lump in it, you won't need weight reduction.
There was a blokey in practical classics a while back who stuck a 3.0 v6 from an omega in a manta. apparently it went well
