Finally my ex-Thundersaloon HSR rep is up for sale. Photobucket - do your thing. . . . . .      Brief history: Car was originally built as an HS rally car, then sold to a small team who raced it in Thundersaloons (class B - engines up to 2.5l). Series ended and car was passed through a number of hands before I bought it 3+ years ago to re-shell my Autocross car. Cue lots of welding and general bodywork. Car has body boxes for top links (standard lower mounts), large transmission and exhaust tunnel, high level exhaust exit, double skinned turrets, seam welded. Also included are the fibreglass bonnet, rear hatch and doors (very light compared to steel!), standard loom, dash, instrument cluster, centre vent with fuel and temp guage, column. Also available:  Standard (rusty) front crossmember, top and bottom arms. Includes part of chassis rail  HS works (?) style crossmember, Welded all over the place. Bottom arms bolt holes moved out by approx 1" each for wider track. Car will be at Billing VBOA next Sunday as shown along with any other spares I can find. 8) |

I am looking for £1500, but am open to offers.
Bear in mind that to buy just the kit with the bonnet new is over £1300 and thats without the doors (although these will need some repair work around the hinges). Then there is the history of the car etc . . .

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but its mine so . . .
I took this car up to Billing VBOA last year and there was some interest, but none got farther than general chat. Hopefully now in our improving economic climate (cough cough), there are a few of you out there looking for this type of car / project to finish.
Any questions / comments / offers ?

That's bargaintastic! And pedigree too. Why when I'm downsizing does this have to be available? The ppl who tyrekicked that should be named + shamed! |

"To Big block or not to Big block?" Thats the question!

It should be a shoe-in for whatever the current version of the Thundersaloon series is. As for downsizing - its not that big a car, just throw a cover over it 'till you're ready  |

I need to stack cars on top of each other or put them upright on bumper. I've got 9 + other ppls cars here. I've got the engine + box for this but not got any Vauxhall stuff. I have just received an interesting email from TR Drivers magazine re: my one off custom TR7 for sale they are sending a photographer down to feature in forthcoming edition. Had only been on eBay 2hrs when email came in!  |

Hi what axle is on the shell at the moment? Regards.

The axle on there at the moment is NOT included as its been cobbled to fit so car is mobile.
(For width reference its a Manta A with no brakes, 3/4" spacers and 7x15 wheels et20.)
Because the car has a large tunnel there is no front mount for the A axle so you will need to 4 link an axle (4HA, Atlas etc) using the original lower shell mounts and the upper boxed mounts. Similarly the axle mounts will need to be fabbed accordingly.

Cheers
