I have been looking for some oversills for my firenza but cannot find any, the panal place we use at work can get hold of viva HA,HB,HC and chevette ones will any of these fit a 1972 firenza?

HC - Firenza same thing diff badges...

Thanks,
How much is interchangeable??
I am very new to vuaxhalls used to old land rovers me!!!

Much of it will interchange between Viva HC and Firenza. With the exception of the doors, rear quarter panels, rear panel and a couple of other bits, it's all the same as a 2-door Viva HC. There is a Viva coupe as well, at one point they would be a source for spares but they're pretty thin on the ground now. As for mechanical stuff and trim, it all depends on what model of Firenza you have, but other than the HPF much of it was used in one or more other models. Post a bit more detail on the car (engine size etc.) and I'm sure someone will fill in more detail.

Thanks for your reply, its usefull to know that lots are interchangeable
Its currently a 1972 1256 firenza but hopefuly fitting an 2.0 8 Valve out of a carlton with either the carlton box or manta box.
I have already sourced a BMW E30 back axle for it to take the added power.

Save yourself a heap of trouble trying to fit a different axle , the standard 1800 or 2300 ones are more than adequate for the set up you describe - and u only need to use the shorter top arms from an ohc , as all the mounting points will be the same as a 1256 axle.

Thanks for advice, the chances of me putting an LSD in the E30 one is remote as probably wont be able to afford it.
Are 1.8 or 2.3 axles easy to get hold of?

What do the shorter top arms come off?

The axles arnt exactly plentifull but they are around, look on ebay, and ask about on here. The shorter top arms come with the OHC(1.8/2.3) axle.
