Tailgate needs replacing - when I bought her it was fibreglass, and the winder doesn't fit into the handle.
A few dings, but there's only minor stuff that you expect with a 34 year old car that's seen a few miles...
Heavy duty sway bar and fat rims make her more stable around corners (otherwise, yes, HRs do wallow a bit).
This is my second HR - I kept my first for 11 years, and plan to keep this one as long as possible. Oddly enough, a lot of people tell me that they used to have one and it was the best car they ever had!
Just to let you know - she is now out of rego and starting her rebuild.
I have a "new" tailgate and a spare, a full stereo for her, have scammed an original console, a 5 speed Celica gearbox, ALL the rubbers (ouch$!), and we're checking out the price of billets. A mild 186 is being built up, colours are determined, and motor trimmer lined up. Hoping to have my beloved girl on the road again within a year, money willing. The XY wagon is a good work horse, and its V8 is fun, but I miss driving my HR!
