QuoteHi all. I am on the look out for a 2 door sedan avenger rolling body or ongoing project to be used for a project with dad.
I know these are hard to find so also let me know about good 4 door sedans as well.
In south island would be better but would consider north island cars if of a better starting point.
Rego on hold would be perfect.
Let me know what you've got.
Thanks Neil
has mentioned of a Racecar might be up for sale in Akl

Mike Courteney's
He would be very lucky to find one. They never sold them over here because Todd Motors wanted to sell the Avenger as a 4 door and the Mitsubishi Colt as a 2 Door so they didn't compete.
As far as I know there is less than a dozen 2 doors in NZ, all privately imported, most of them as Rally cars. I think Miles A.K.A NZTiger knows where most of them are.
Miles has one.
Mike has the one you posted. There was one down in Wanganui that I saw at the Kumeu carshow many years back.
Other than that they are very hard to come by, other than Mike's I have never seen one come up for sale.
Both Mike's 2 door and a rusty 2 door have been for sale in the last few years..Mike's for $30k and the other one for $3k I think. Searching through old forum posts will find them.
phwoar
the OP is open to Tidy 4 doors in the South land too (Would travel North for the right car
These are the ones that I know of..
Mine seen here when I collected it from the Weirs..going to be a future project...(http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee162/nzenger/IMG_1150.jpg) (http://s230.photobucket.com/user/nzenger/media/IMG_1150.jpg.html)
Mikes Rally car originally built by Tony Ornstein.
Ex Roddy Murdock's Shellsport race car I believe lives in Queenstown. I've meet the owner.
There used to be a very tidy 1600GT Yellow or Orange with 3/4 vinyl roof used to live in Stokes Valley and I think that has gone north.
There is an Aquarius one with a rear Tiger spoiler I've seen pics of...Hamilton?? (I think that this one and mine were owned by the same person at one stage and one good car was made from the two as I have an Aquarius door in poor condition....)
I think only about 6 were privately imported.
That's all I know....

Yeah, that is the only thing I don't like about the 2 door. The swage / coke bottle look is so 70's like the Mk3 Cortina, or the Mk2 Escort, or my Charger.
the seller of that 2 door is the guy with the yellow and red brm rally car jared put up the photo of in pics i think thats why it comes with the panels express panels sponsor his rally car

Thanks

with the 1st best Answer being :
QuoteAlwyn Zakham Bickham says :
"I used Mark 2 Escort 1/4 windows rubbers cut them down to size and super glue the ends work a treat"
and yeah I'm aware probably not quite "as simple" as that but gives you a start, and sorry / Not_sorry for mentioning the "E" word LOL
others said : "Made of unobtainiam I sadly believe"
and "No not be available for years"
so yeah for those in NZ or around the word without access that might help
and for those curious on this Build : see more HERE (https://www.facebook.com/CVRclassicvehiclerestorations/posts/pfbid0BrK4o8Ujdopk7sJGnUDizqSi7tYmG8NpqkT9ig5yLSBrd3qhEFqr1MYDGGydj8Jol)
So Nigel commented on a Old Car group Post on FB : Oh yeah I have GT... (and he was happy for me to Post the Photo)

but yeah even though this is a PUBLIC Forum probably best not to broadcast the Location or owner etc <3
and for the Record I believe this is #7 that I know of that still exists in NZ

and I've connected them to each other with their permission's etc (Parts & Specific help and so on)
the Story that goes with it lets just say is as Dramatic as Shortland Street! Or a M. Night Shyamalan Film(https://jaredm-nz.tinytake.com/msc/OTEyNzk3MF8yMjYzOTQ5MA)
