I,m tempted.....
« on: 19 September 2009, 00:17:15 »
Havent had a project to play about with for a while,just seen this,its only 20 miles from me.Would be a real trip down memory lane.The wife would kill me though,she hated that car. ::) ;D ;D
Anyone got a nice chevette hatchback shell sitting around ?

I understand where you are coming from, though not an early Vauxhall fan, would rather have an early Ford ::) that does look a little beyond saving, unless you can find a shell :)  Nut we do like to play and our swmbo's don't understand  ;) ;)

It would need a shell to do a proper job on it. :y
I actually found my old one sitting in a garden less than 10 miles from where I live about 5 years ago.It was in a terrible state,brambles growing through the floor etc.About a year later I noticed it was gone and then a couple of months after that I saw someone with what looked like a new HSR shell on a trailer behind their car.It was only a couple of miles from where my old one had been sat so I think it was a fair bet that someone was rebuilding it into a new shell.I hope so anyway. :)
