Awesome Avenger! I remember seeing that car on Trademe last year. I remember thinking it looked pretty sweet because you don't see Avengers in white too often and the Modgies really suit the white body.

Good score on the donor car and race engine. Are you tempted to put on the dual dellortos? They make an Avenger fly and they sound really cool.

I love the steering wheel (Same as the wheel in my '75) that Alpine dashboard and tacho look really good also. I am going to do the same on mine except I have an Alpine dashboard with the tacho built in (instead of the blank cover you have in the 3rd guage)

Those carpets aren't hard to replace, both Hunted and I have replaced our carpets with Autodec carpets.

I look forward to seeing it in person some day. Hopefully you can make it to the next Avenger meet.

Great work so far and keep us posted on all the latest work you do.

did u get that off a guy in hamilton and he had run a bearing in it?

[Hillman kid]

Yeah that'd be him i think

[kierbear]

sweet. he had it on trademe for about 5k before he ran the bearing

[Hillman kid]

then 3k when he stuffed it but i asked for 2300 and he said yes with no hesitation so i was stoked as

[kierbear]

wow. sweet deal. thats what i got mine 4 and i got it completely standard lol, and ur interior is dyed balck ae

[kierbear]

i thought it was 1974? did he list it wrong on trademe?

[Hillman kid]

I'm pretty sure it's a '75? i hope i got it right haha. yeah its like sprayed black and all the paint is peeling probably because the black makes it sooooo hot in the summer. So a good interior is on my list of things to do. Where did you get yours?

[kierbear]

lol ur rego slip should tell u what year it is? yeah he said he dyed it but fuck sitting on that in sumer. aparantly it used to be the reverse of mine so it used to be...blue roof and white seats. i got mine from kawakawa about a year ago, north of whangerei

[Hillman kid]

It is a 74 i have no idea why i was thinking 75 while writing this hahaha

[kierbear]

probs coz everyone else has 75's lol

Good starting car Kid, and by God u made a much better choice than an escort etc, I think all you avenger guys in NZ would like MPH speedos and the fuel gauge reads, 0 . 5 . 10 galls. I can probabbly find for you, see the MPH pic i have.
