It is a 1980 Opel Manta (german car) and features a full tube chassis with a blown and injected 502BBC engine, TH400, 35 spline 9" ford, 3.5" & 14"x15" aluma stars etc etc. This car is going to be fully street legal and will be driven all over the UK and europe (even if petrol is $8 a gallon over here). Here are a couple of mid-build pics and one thats been photoshopped to give an idea of what it will be like (but not in red primer)
The other car (black one) is a 1972 Opel Manta that I built. Its been coverted to a modern fuel injected 4 cylinder engine with 5 speed box, but has been converted to 5 stud bolt pattern so I could fit halibrand rims and retains the retro look.

Great projects! I love the Manta body style. The only problem is that the put the steering wheel on the wrong side
