Beaver Posted December 17, 2010 Author Share Posted December 17, 2010 yeh theres a grill on TM i might look into. I think the mountings are slightly different but im sure its doable. will likely need mounting brackets etc so will look for a donar car thingy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vintage Grumble Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Looks chur, seems pretty damn tidy, do a skid? Also, wouldnt this still count as european? You could rebadge it as a Plymouth Cricket and say its american I guess? Edit: Do this, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avengertiger Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 cool nice colour i had a pic somewere of a very cool looking orange one in the uk a while ago will try find it for some mojo enhancing,to fit quad round lights you will need the headlamp backing plates which is a bit involved to remove old ones and fit new ones as they are spotwelded in,was this one advirtised on sella recently... a few on here now with avengers good to see them all keep up the good work,all the dashes crack to. i nearly had this bought until seller backed out of deal,i thought she was a stunning looking car as you can see the rectangle headlights look cool to just simple and neat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark105 Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 good luck finding a 2 door here tho, very few and far between. looks tidy. 1300's are lush as on gas when tuned right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyBreeze Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Hah. Didn't take long. I vote some stupid hi-po n/a 2litre conversion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver Posted December 17, 2010 Author Share Posted December 17, 2010 yeh i imagine they are, am having a bit of trouble getting it running right, think carb needs a good pull apart and clean out. probably a rekit as well. Parents carpeted garage isnt the beeeeest place to do much work tho haha. it doesnt leak oil though which is nice. edit- lol sorry rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avenga Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Nice Avenger. I am about to do a dual headlight conversion on mine. I got my 4 headlight grille for $1 off trademe a while back and got the lights and buckets for about $30 off another guy on trademe. I was just going to fabricate a new mount for them but I will let you know how I get on. I will be doing it after Xmas. I am also doing an upgrade on the instrument cluster. upgrading it to an Alpine cluster. Check out my Avengers in the project thread and PM me if you need any help with the Avenger.

It is really good to see how many Avengers there are on this forum. Yeah Avengers really suit an old school set of mags and lowered. I only lowered my 1975 Avenger a little bit. I like how it sits. that was just done with lowered springs. My race car is lowered a lot more and it has totally custom front struts and shock turrets sticking up in to the boot and an Estate diff with custom upper arms.

Beaver Posted December 18, 2010 Author Share Posted December 18, 2010 Where abouts did you get your springs from? or are they just compressed or cut? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avenga Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Race car ones were custom made. I can't remember who I got to do them because I got them done 10 years ago. they are heavy as hell for tarmac racing. The 1975 had it's springs cut by the last owner but I want to redo them properly. This is my race car setup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver Posted December 18, 2010 Author Share Posted December 18, 2010 looks sweet man. would be keen to do everything so it can be reverted to stock if need be, so will try track down another set of springs to "modify" haha. they dont need to go much lower, just needs better offset wheels haha they are buried in the guards, will see what I can find Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
