well she finally got here . . . so its official . . . I'm an actual HHR owner. Never driven one, never been in one, bought this one sight unseen. A friend of a friend has a car lot up in Detroit and got this one in and was pretty much what i was looking for. I acquired a PT Cruiser over the summer and was using it for a parts chaser for my shop and liked the convenience and economy over my shop trucks so i started giving it some thought and decided i wanted a Sunset Orange Panel and this one popped up through my friend, sold the PT and made pretty much a lateral move to the HHR. It had some light, above the bumper damage and needed a hood, bumper, both coolers and fender/headlight assembly but came with all the parts off another orange HHR. It showed up at five PM last night with all the parts . . . . i was driving it around the lot by seven thirty lol (man these things are easy to work on ) It was, by all indications, an X service vehicle for a computer repair place up in Detroit. Its got a bunch of leftover adhesive and stuff from the old decals that someone tried to unsuccessfully remove with a razor scraper so its getting a complete re paint soon. Actually if it wasn't for all razor damage it would be in great shape. I decided to wait till today to take it out and she goes down the road without issue, took it to lunch and a parts run. Looking forward to fixing it up and having some fun with it, i have been browsing the site here and found some great info and still have lots more questions. I really enjoy driving this thing but man the "panel" aspect takes some getting use to . . . . super mega blind spot if your not use to it lol
cleaned off a lot of the glue and had it out in the sun today . . . its got potential. Runs great, has the 2.4 in it. Took me a sec to figure out the rear doors lol
i am thinking I'd like to lower or at least level it. Looking into Eibach springs, maybe some other stuff to complenent them but have to research on here a bit more. Definetly wheels and tires but tend to like OEM stuff, maybe SS wheels.
