Belkits Opel Manta B, conversion to full-detail streetversion

[The Creative Explorer]

After doing a lot of 'quickies' the last couple of years, I had the desire to go deeper again and wanted to make a full-detail. Something I did many years ago, but stopped probably due to time-restraints and wanted to finish something once in a while. 

I thought the BelKits Opel Manta would be a good candidate, it is full-curbside and will be quite the challenge to make it full-detail. It is also engineered in the CAD-age, so the fitment out of the box is good and helps me get me back in the saddle. 

So far, I have cut the whole thing open and see from there where to go and what to do. At the moment, I am working on the engine bay and on the rear-compartment. The enginebay got its raingutters, weatherstripping and fender bolts. I started on making a firewall and have to figure out what the best way would be for hinging, as there is little space under the scuttle panel.

Cool project. I'm watching. I have something similar planned for a Belkits Escort.
