Just updating the Kelmark posts. Got the doors fixed, the Subaru and adapter in, working out the exhaust details, just puttering along as budget allows.

That seems to be the easy way. The reason I would put a cell up front is to place the weight over the front wheels. Everything in back makes the car understeer. I guess it depends also just what you...
What chassis are you using with the V8 upgrade? I've seen tanks hanging off the rear of the frame, and I've seen tanks up front. The real M6gt has the tanks (2), one in each pod next to driver and...
Just plan on moving your firewall forward or building a nose cover between the seat area, a V8 is a tough squeeze, depending on your tansaxle choice. You must plan on building a custom chassis....
Facebook say's it's been sold. Something like 3K, I believe.
Good luck with your search. Prices have gone crazy. Original Manta Montage bodies in poor shape, cut on, have been 6-8K. I looked for at least 2 years, never could find one that was realistic, that I...
I wish you had decided to sell about 5 months ago. I bought a Kelmark which I'm completely going through, and doing a 2.2 Suby conversion. It's in another post/thread here. I'm also doing a build...
763764I've got the dropped seat pans in, race seats, modded the roll bar for 5 point harness mounts, new brakes, rear disc kit, new KYB shocks, fat sway bar up front with new front suspension,...
The paint looks good in pictures, but very amateurish.:( Lots of orange peel, no primer under it, just right over the faded gelcoat. Single stage enamel. I bought it over the internet, so yeah,...
762Just for the update, I did buy the Kelmark. Owner kept the 1600 VW so I got it cheap. I bought a Subaru with a 2.2 FI motor and all electronics, so I have a good powerplant for it. Finished the...
I hate the Hoop-tee wheels. An M6 / Montage should have some sort of race wheels, not low rider wheels. A set of Barrett steel racing wheels can be had for around $500 new. And no Radiator Vent in...
Mole, I noticed an ad for a Montage, tube frame, vette suspension, Porsche transaxle, 6.0 LS motor for sale in Jacksonville Craigslist. Search under kit car, it will pop up. Wants 45K. Good luck with...
I hope you don't have seller's remorse. I see you had alot of nice little touches in it. We all want a V8 car. To buy one that isn't just a total mess, is getting pretty high. One thing I see is some...
I see your ads are gone, did you get your 10K? Gonna be hard to find another that clean for 10K unless your luck is better than mine! If it's gone, how far from home did it go? I see a Canadian guy...
Was it the one with the Ghia chassis. All apart. He was wanting 8K, then went down to 6K. When I talked to him, he had an attitude, would not come down, kind of insulted me for even asking. I'm about...
Mack, whose car did you purchase, and where was it located? VW based, T model or V8? I'm curious, as I also live in Florida, I wonder if I missed it for sale. Congrats, I jealous! Mike
That's kind of my thoughts. I can clean it up, drive it, and figure out if I would be happy modding the VW chassis/motor, like a rotary, or? It is a IRS pan with lowered spindles, etc. I could also...
D Morgan, I'm looking at a Factory built 1982 Kelmark GT, VW based. Sunroof and A/C. The guy started restoring it and crapped out. It's been painted black. Everything's there though. Running 1600 DP...
It's been a long time since I have driven a VW based kit car. As far as a Montage, or a Dino replica, I figured if I could not modify the VW platform to my satisfaction, I would design my own chassis...
D Morgan, tell me about your Kelmark. I've see a few, since I can't seem to find a Montage, I'm looking at other designs, I've seen a couple the look like a decent price. VW cars, don't know if I...
And look at all the fun you have and an outlet for your creativity! Love your work. Madd skills.;) I'm just impatient,:mad: I don't want to waste the money I have messing with something my hearts not...
Gotta love a guy that builds his own stuff! Don't worry about using the drill press, I built many experimental airplane parts using my large chuck Press. Clamping and holding are big issues, mainly...
11-26-16, looks like it finally sold, as owner took down the ad. I was going to seriously make an offer but I have not sold my last two bikes, so I did not want to waste his time until I had my funds...
That is an ambitious project, to say the least. That is a nice sized trunk you now have. You may actually have a practical car yet!
My understanding they converted one or two Deloreans, which you can see the difference in the wheels, one being the close up car, and made panels for a tube frame air cooled Porsche powered jump car....
