Do HC front and rear axles bolt into HB bodyshells?

aye

Hmm in that case maybe I should find the number for that local ish HB I didn't think I wanted,but maybe do after all now!
Anyone after a solid '76 HC slightly modified bodyshell?

always after cars just a shame i dont have the space, what mods has it got?.

Been so long it's a job to remember!
Leading edge of bonnet and front wings radiused.
Lower part of front valance and bottom of wings made from scratch in steel to incorporate spoiler and leave room for big radiator.Original indicators now mounted from behind so flush fitting.
Steering column moved across 2" approx to make room for ford v6 engine,Sierra pedal box and servo fitted.
Gearbox needed more room,and I could have got away with hammering it out,but at the time I wanted to make a centre console for the car,so cut the top out of the tunnel and remade it with a flat top. Will make it easier to mount said console but not so easy to please VOSA.Doh!!!
Exterior door handles shaved,remote entry. Bootlid de-locked,switch in car.
Rear arches were cut from front wings 'because they are exactly the same',no they are not,so lower rear 1/4panels extended to suit!
New sills fabricated without the slots for the kickplate bits in the door shuts.
Fuel filler now in boot.Battery box in boot floor to take two standard viva batteries.
Front and rear bumpers dechromed and smooth mounted with no coachbolts on show.

There is a pic of it from google earth street view in the spotted a Viva section on this site.

That sounds like a beast!.

Yeah,if it ever gets finished! And I'd have got away with free road tax if it hadn't been for those meddling politicians!
