Bulldog Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I've been searching for one of these badboys for years in NZ and finally got my hands on one. This is a 1975 Vauxhall Viva E coupe running all 1256 Viva HC running gear. Essentially a 2300 firenza without the running gear and other interior goodies. Plan is either race car or very mean road car at the moment. I'm not sure what I'm going to repower it with yet either, thinking 2300 single cam slant for (boat anchor engine) because it's what they ran OR going crazy with something newer....maybe lexus v8 ;P project discussion thread viewtopic.php?f=18&t=25999 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldog Posted April 14, 2011 Author Share Posted April 14, 2011 So I've been collecting bits for the firenza....i'm obsessed I tell you. Got myself an 1800 hc viva with all the beefier running gear, cross members, brakes, diff etc which all bolts straight in. I'm driving to wellington next week with a trailer for an almighty roadtrip....I'm looking forward to it. I've also managed to find a 7 dial dash (a la firenza) and the magnum front end grill and four headlights. One of the coolest things I managed to grab for a steal was that blydenstein head off trademe, I now have all the spares to make myself a nice 2300 single cam. My master plan is falling into place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
