Anybody want to welcome him back into the fold? Thought not. Never mind. I actually would, but I don't have the cash. Yes I know there's plenty wrong with him, but at least I know what most of it is. 500tops and RoverFolkUs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdkrc Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Huggy needs £5-10ks worth of welding, possibly more. There are very few people who are willing to do that sort of work and fewer still who will do it to a high standard and actually finish the job. It would also take an extremely long time to fix it up. If you've got that sorta money (a few £k to buy it and the readies to have someone good weld it), you'd probably just be going for an unfucked caddy for closer to £10k. I think HMC deserves a purple heart for taking it on and then another medal for managing to sell it. It's about as automotively niche as you could possibly get and with fuel at this price it's even more niche.

It depends what you mean by driveability. Power-on understeer will be worse, but more predictable. Power-off oversteer will be less, and also more predictable. Traction ofc will be better. Getting the slip right is the tricky bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's got the very late dash and with the lazy Twin Cam is very easy to drive, but no tail happy charlie in the wet.
