[kazsymonds]

bloody hell, didnt know they were so cheap, really nice motor, would love to use a carlton gsi 24v engine in one or even a c20let or something and make into a kinda road rally car

Did you see that total vaux edition when that guy had a black viva with a 558 brake let in it?! (458 + 100nos)

The thing was stupidly high maintenance tho, think he had to rebuid every 5000 miles as the poor thing couldnt take the heat!

Grotty cobras to the rescue!







On going sanding:



Here is what the plan for the paint is - with matt black.

ive got a handfull of those petrol caps in the garage

all chrome with a little vx badged tounge covering the lock?

[Tigran]

Yeah they are pretty ace - especially the fact that they are solid metal, don't get that nowadays!

Still it'll be de-chromed so gotta figure out what to do with the chrome filler.

V8 disco, best tow car evAr. The viva is now at home in bournemouth and i can bosh on with working on it.

Oh and pissing off some private estate queens by parking right next to their sign, which said 'private property, no parking' - HA!*



*didn't really, they were very nice about it, and one even asked about whether he could have the slotties for his victor/chevette (not sure which one he was asking for - deffo not his impala!)
