Opel Manta 400 - 1983

Opel Manta 400 - 1983

Currently doing a career playthrough.

Started in 1980 and doing each season until 2000 or there abouts. Each season has 12 events, each event consisting of 2 days (12 stages).

Currently in the year 1983 with the Rothmans Opel Manta 400.

Loads of fun doing it like this.

Anyone able to identify this ship?

Taken somewhere in the Mediterranean i believe.

The ship is British if that helps at all.

Curious if anyone can identify it.

Very happy with how the painting turned out.

Just wanted to say a big thank you for all the helpful advice I received on here regarding tips on how to paint.

Much appreciated! 🙂👍

Need an option to hold fire in tanks.

Been using tanks lately and it's annoying how the bots just waste all the MG ammo on some guy half a mile away.

Is there some command that gets them to hold fire until ordered otherwise?

Awesome game though. 🙂👍

Can I paint the flywheel housing?

This is my very first engine build. I'd like to paint the flywheel housing the same colour as the engine. Are there pro's and con's with painting it?

If it's fine to paint it, what paint should I use?

Thanks for any help. 🙂

First attempt at painting.

Last photo is how it started. Painted with a foam brush and some patience.

Hopefully it turns out okay. 🤞

Crankshaft advice.

I'm in the process of rebuilding an A series engine for my 1975 Leyland mini clubman.

The engine was completely seized when I bought the car so I'm rebuilding it. This is my first engine build so I'm learning as I go.

The crankshaft has some crude looking work on it. How should I best proceed? Is the crankshaft usable?

Thank you.

What has gone on here?

Looks like someone has ground material out of my crankshaft at some point. Why would someone do this?

I'm learning as i go so I apologise if this is normal.

Need advice with bearings.

Googled this part number but got no results. Can someone point me in the right direction for the bearings I need?

I'm doing my first ever build on an engine so it's all a learning experience for me. Standard 998 spec build.

Thank you. 🙂

What song would suit this image?

Pick a song that would suit this image. I'm feeling like "Heat is on" by Glenn Frey goes well.

What are your picks? 🙂👍

Rear wheels bent inward?

I've only just noticed that the rear wheels on my mini are slightly crooked. Any ideas what might be going on?

Any help with this is much appreciated! 🙂

What was this building in Tumbleweed?

Was this a school/barracks or something?

Other than the jail, i think it is the only brick building in town.

6 and a half hours into planting seeds with 1/3 of the field done. Long job ahead still.

Great fun! 🙂👍

Anyone know what this part is called?

Trying to buy various parts my project mini is missing. Does anyone know what this part is called or what the part number might be?

Thank you. 🙂

Oats going in on Vintage farm.

After 25 hours on the disc harrow, it's finally time for the seeds to go in on my 50-acre farm.

Old equipment only playthrough. 🙂👍

Camshaft help

I'm rebuilding my 998cc Leyland mini motor. It has a standard camshaft (apparently), however it cannot be reused.

Can anyone tell me what the part numbers for a standard camshaft and the correct oil pump are on an A series engine?

I'm still new to classic minis and learning as I go.

Thank you for any help. 🙂👍
