havent had a chance to look round it great shell seems to have been done relatively well not running needs exhaust and distributor although the manifolds are there and there is a distributor in the boot.
its not my thing so want to move it on.
guy lost his storage and needed rid of stuff i just happened to hear about it and made him an offer.

Hi fellows,

It's just amazing, you still use these cars to race, here is not like this . I like to see photos in which engine is open and all parts are in fixing process. My enginee has never been opened with 170.000kms over its shoulder.

Nice restoring work Joker, Congrats! that Hill looks very spicy.

Cheers!
Nicko

cheers yea that was the 1st time I have seen inside an engine myself!

learnt heaps and amazing how simple it all really is

[avenga]

Awesome, hope you get the '76. looks like an awesome bargin for what it is. Are you going to use it as a road car?

Nicko, there is quite a few Avengers racing in New Zealand. I used to race an Avenger back in 2000-2005, and we have a few other members who have rally/race Avengers.

They make great race cars due to their light weight and good handling.

A few of the Avengers that rally here use an imported 1800 block from South America.

[Dodge1500]

You are kidding me Avenga! Blocks from South America?? Maybe they could have belonged to Dodge1500 M1.8 as it is denominated here. Incredible I visited Sales forum and I noticed that some of you posted argentinians cars on sale, like the Volkswagen 1500, full of proud gentlemen.
I can't still believe that NZ cars are in a 90% I think, similar than our Dodges. I know mine like my hand and some pieces and parts are the exactly the same. I did not watch Joker's videos cause I am on a netbook and it sucks! but tomorrow I will take a loo at them.

Regards! Have a nice day (here is evening ja!)

Are you going to use it as a road car?

that is the intention yup

[avenga]

Nicko. the 1800 brazil engine is the motor of choice for rallying. In 1976 Andrew Cowen won the Heatway Rally of New Zealand in a 2 door Avenger with a Brazilian 1800 in it.

They import the 1800 engines from Brazil or Argentina then bore them out to almost 2000cc. I always wanted to import an 1800 engine for my race car but I couldn't afford the shipping etc when I used to race. Instead I used a 1600 bored out to around 1750cc.

Here is a link to one of them http://www.avenger.co.nz/forum/index.php?topic=168.0 and here are some photos of another 1800 rally car in New Zealand http://groundsky.co.nz/index.php?Action=VEN&EventCode=0711&EntrantID=7512


Awesome Jarrod!!! We so need to have another Avenger meet.

[JoKer]

IF I get it (still 1x too many ifs in that sentence for my liking) will be the first time in a long time I will have a "legal" on road avenger

[JoKer]

Sorry guys car will be ready to view early next week as i am up north at the moment for work!

[avenga]

Haha a 13 litre avenger would haul ass.

Hope you get it.

[oldschool]

That repair looks great Jared...shows up the rest of the car...LOL
You're taking a risk parking it in the backyard again...should be safe until the grass needs cutting anyway!!

[JoKer]
