Got all my bits and pieces in the shed stored.

Glad to see you throwing some rust prevention at this because its such a solid car- well worth keeping that way!  Are you still saving your pingas for an engine swap?

Trying but don't think I'll make enough money for that so I'm just focusing on small things at the moment.

Got some fish oil and some black gloss paint to do inside of rims. Just need to clean it up and get a new coat of paint on it.

Ok cool see you then

So what the plan? Rabbit Island looks like it could still work since it has cleared up

A work mate has a Fiat x1/9 that he might bring along. Anywhere the mot crew are going to meet up before cruising over?

V8. Go on. You know you want to. With an aluminium block (I'm thinking Buick/Rover, maybe something Japanese) you might find you don't even need to change the front suspension setup. Insurance could be an issue though.

Got to say I like the sound of v8 but just think they too heavy for what I want. I like going round corners fast rather than a straight line. Though wouldn't mind going for a Jap 2L or v6 when money is more available.

I'm hoping to get a nice paint job on it in same colour because I like the green, put a bigger motor and better running gear in cause the 1300 is nice to cruise in 50km areas but not really what I want. Fix up interior (would like dark brown leather seats) and put in a good sound system. But me being a student is going to make it a really slow process.

Since I don't know much about these vivas, I'm open to any suggestions on it.

Hey

This is my Vauxhall viva that I got from Christchurch. It got a few marks here and there and is fading a bit but it a pretty solid car.
