Went to look at this today as I figured it was the nearest I would get to a HSR and . . . .bought it!
Mega Spec 160bhp, but of course rough round the edges . . and the arches . . and with crap skinny wheels on and stuck on Escort spats on the rear arches the look aint currently good!
Spec -:
1979 VAUXHALL CHEVETTE HATCHBACK 2.3 BLUE TARMAC RALLY SPEC
Highly modified road rally car. No MOT SORNed, front wing slightly torn where previous wheels were stolen.
Bodywork shows its age with rust patches
Photocopy of complete Factory HSR workshop Rally manual.
Modifications:
twin 45 weber carburators K&N air filters
high lift cam
big valve stage 4 polished head
performance inlet manifold
performance exhaust manifold
janspeed exhaust
vernier pully
electronic ignition
high pressure oil pump
high pressure fuel pump
lightened flywheel
adjustable panhard rod
bilstein tarmac suspension
mintex pads
vented disks
roll cage
Cobra high 8 bucket seats
4 point harnesses
Which now means the plans change (again) slightly
T Plate 79 HSR Rep - restore - respray (white/silver or signal orange) - add minilights and 6 Cibie Oscars and keep it!
B Plate 84 Rust Hunt modded 1.3 - finish, MOT, fit HS Alloys and Recaros and sell.
R Plate 76 Estate - MOT over the next two weeks, fit new rad, and sell with the option of mint tailgate/drivers door, 2 Front Wings, mint tail lights and a brand new estate rear bumper
W Plate 81 Silver GL Saloon - nothing needed on the road and mint!! - may have to sell, and have interest from one or two at the mo who will have first refusal
I'll add some pics later in the week as I'm on a really poor 2G Connection and the photos would take forever!
