Yes, the project has started. I'm documenting it on pistonheads (see link below): pistonheads.com/doc.asp?c=52&i=16794Currently she's had the engine and box removed, flogged to a mini racer for £150 (more than the car cost me!) and next week the 827 Rover will go under the knife. Rough measurements show that it will fit (bulkhead to grille) and it's just the masses of modern ancillaries which may need hiding/rerouting. Will keep ya posted. Cheers for the interest! Big cheers to 77allegro for all those measurements. Nice one - I owe you a pint. Jonny |

The ol Pro-street Allegro was done about 8-10 years ago a mate of mine had a pro street 100e in the Reading area, he took the body off n sold the chassis etc to a bloke in Luton area who put an Allegro body on it , didnt even re-radius the rear arch's looked tough also had a small block Chevy in ........i bet its just in a lock up now waiting to be found ..........

FWD isn´t pro street , sorry to say
but, it COULD be a very great thread to see buildt.
so , just waiting to see something good come of this....
for the rest keep up the good things, an Aggro going strong is allways great
maybe another one beeîng Pro Street Buildt, at the same time? nice to see the differences.
cheers.
Chris

I realise my thread title is now out of date. My project won't be pro street, but instead a faithful v6 fwd sleeper. The Rover gets its heart removed tonight so then the rest of the car is up for spares before the shell is weighed in. Anyone need any ROVER 827 bits? Nice interior, alloys, trim, panel, switches, dash, doors etc. Email me on jonnycarpervert@gmail.com.

Nice to see some progress being made to this. Hopefully by the next pod season there'll be at least two quick allegros tearing up the strip ;D

Ah nut's johnny boy i read this to late.
You could have followed a different pro street idea ( i know it aint real pro street but a new version in my eye's) as in wacky's vx firrenza but maybe used a volvo turbo lump up front for big boost power and five linked volvo axle on rear with wheels in tubs.
Perhaps an idea for the future or someone else?

The Volvo idea sounds nice. Any pics Mr Rodit? As it sits the Allegro will be FWD with Rover power. Should be a lot of fun.
Anyone for Rover 827 bits?

John boy got no pic's i am affraid although there was a full feature on mik's firanza in ppc last year.
Next time your over brum way give me a shout and we will go for a pint.
Could alway's sell you another car as well and watch you peel out of that lotus, he he.
Keep the good work up and if not pro street how about a dedicated fromt drive drag car?

That damn Exige was harder to climb into than a letter box. Hope you're ok Tim. The Pontiac's still going strong!
The Allegro is obviously FWD and will NOT be Pro Street. It is a budget sleeper that should look v factory. Supercharger is a possibility. Have just bought another donor for the suspension - a Rover 216 convertible. Does anyone need bits? All I need is the suspension!
I'm still looking for a quartic wheel. Have got a series 1 NOS grille for £1.99 on bay. Genius.
Keep ya posted.

Found a stash of N.O.S quartic steering wheels for Allegros. Am purchasing :-)
Does anyone want bits from my ROVER 827 SI breaking and my ROVER 216 CONVERTIBLE?
