is this a Manx 2? new project

[BL3Manx]

The square bulge on the front bulkhead is known as a lifting block, it was used to pull the new body out of the mold, make sure you include a picture of it (and the rear one if you have one) when you have the buggy verified as a genuine Manx 2.

I love the windshield decal of the Baja campground, save it and try to have a copy made.

The first bumper was probably original Manx. It would be difficult to restore but could be done and would be worth it. I don't think either of your rollbars are original Manx. This shows the extent of the effort GeoffP put into restoring his original bumper.

So I stripped all the paint off and the gel coat wasn't in very good shape so I painted the body. I used catalyzed PPG paint in Gulf blue. What do you think of the new color?
