Here's my new car the corolla got reversed into by a truck so I bought this.It has a 186p block wich stands for performance they have a thicker cast wall and thats it.Supposed to be bored to 192 with a small cam maybe 25\65 and electronic dizzy and coil.Interior has been retrimmed in dark blue vinyl with light blue cloth inserts in front and back, door trims are the same vinyl and cloth and blue carpet, it also has a custom dash mat made from the same material as the cloth on the seats and edged in dark blue vinyl.Has x2 gauges fitted a retro sports steering wheel and aftermarket gauges.Outside it has been repainted in the original light blue with white roof in 2 pak paint wheel centers were also painted at the same time in 2 pak.Front suspension was lowered by pedders and rear was lowered with 1.5"blocks.It has 185\80\13 proper white walls (not paint on)from hacketts tyres.I've only had it about a 2 weeks and in that time I've had it lowered,fitted the sports steering wheel,had the white walls fitted and put the stereo in and also orderd the personalised plates and done a bit of polishing on the wheels I havn't polished the body yet it has only been washed.Enjoy :thumbsup:Some updated photos of my hr.Some more interior shots some engine shots,tidied up engine bay a bit put chrome tappet cover and a set of pacemaker tri-y extractors also had new top and bottom ball joints both sides and new front shocks.

    Thanx for the comments.Blue fc the 186 motors that the engine numbers start with 186P are a performance block that have a thicker cast wall around the pistons completely different to the 186 S motors wich had 2 barrel carby different crank and 2 piece cast iron manifold.The 186P motors first came out in HT or HG I only know of these motors as I read about them in the original owners manual I had for my HG premier and it listed these motors as a performance block wich I also had in the prem.Also owned an original HR 186S prem about 30 years ago.cheers.

    I'm only going on what I read in a owners manual I had when I had my HG prem I'd never heard of them before either until I read it in the manual.I've always had old holdens until I had to many kids and had to get something bigger now my oldest daughter has her own car I could go back to having old cars.This is my third HR one of wich was painted the same as Peter Brocks mobil 05 Commodore also signed by him across the boot,bonnet,glove box lid and inside sunvisors.I used to do crash rescue at Bathurst, Amaroo and Oran park when they were open the car was painted as a joke to take to Bathurst one year.cheers.
