Fit some modgies...... Joke.

Flapper? Mudguards?

Once its started and running fine whats next on the list? How close will it be to getting cert'd? Will this car be at the nats?

They look perfect.

How wide are those wheels?

I know its against the norm but I now prefer the shape of the Rx2s over Rx3s- even after having owned the 3 coupe. The shape of a 2 is so much better in proportion. And normally I'm not a big fan of 4 doors but the 2's pull it off. I would lovvvvvvvve a Fiat Dino coupe and both being Bertone designed I can see the similarity between them and rx2 coupes. Beautiful. Who polished the carb body?

Got a nice Viva SL grill from Andre who owns the red GT. He had it as a spare. I put it on yesterday and it looks so much better then the standard budget grill. I'm well happy. Also got 2 new tyres and got the best one of the old fitted to a spare rim so now I have a matching spare. sweet. Cause I'm always such a tight barsteward this is the first that I have bought new tyres in about 20 years. On way back from tyre place on bypass the rear end with the new tyres felt loose- like it had flats. I've since been told its the new tyre syndrome. The car will be riding on all the little moulding hairs and wax/silicone needs to get scrubbed off? Feels bloody odd!

Yeah- check your door pulls.

Classic trailer time. You could haul a wheeled stationary engine with that. Why? I don't know but would be cool.

cum-door pulls......

Flintstones

Just remember- you're an important man when you drive your triumph.

Ok- Hannah will have to wear pink blanket clothes... Or maybe we can bring loads of balloons and she wears white.. .. Or I'll wear tight tees and bring a shotgun... Andrew and 2500- you both have so many options..

Haha- billy- you are so wearing a cardigan and brown corduroy trousers. ha.

Cool- we'll all stay in touch. Might try to lure Avengertiger (dave) out for a spin as well.

Fuck yeah- I'm well up for dressing period. I'm gonna look in my Viva brochures for ideas and get some 60's clothes. Maybe dress for the exact period of your car- ie them with 80's cars get to go all shoulder pad styles and big hair, early 90's slap on some bright colour Miami vice style tees and long sleeves and white trousers. Them in 40's / 50's cars...wear what you want cause you rock anyway. Ha- picturing you Billy- with shoulder pads climbing out from your little Civic or toymotor...

We'll just have to come round your place and drag you out!

Sweet. We'll sort something out eh. Even if down to the beach and Hell pizza. Hmmmmmmmmmm Now I'm hungry.

Shit- you scored a girlfriend from there? Wow. What a place.

Trump2000 never let ya down. It'll run on 1.

Hannah and I will be there for sure. I have insisted and even put my foot down (gently). Anyone from Nelson keen to meet and convoy to Picton? 2500? Revhead? wilddat? We are thinking of going to Napier afterwards for a looksie at the deco.

see here.. http://www.nelsoncarshow.com/ I'm working the saturday so will be along on Sunday. I've a couple of mates also bringing Vivas and hopefully we could get a lineup of old cars. The organisers are planning a cruise on friday night and I'm happy to meet up with oldschoolers from here if keen for that.

Whoops - i missed this thread. I must be more attentive. I'm up for a cruise over to Takaka. Or a shorter cruise to Pelorus. Just about to put a thread up for nelson car show and so maybe a friday night cruise that weekend? I'll be working the sat so will do show on sunday.

Nice and sunny yesterday. I have registered the Viva for the Nelson car show and really need to get some carpet in. But before I do I have to sort the leak. I had Dave (avengertiger) run the hose over the window area while I was upside down in the car looking for the leak and found it dripping out of the heater vent. So off with the heater box and I think I may have sorted it. I'll be getting some Dum dum re-usable kneedable sealer- but a plumbers type and kneed it into the gap around the box. I added some aluminum tape along top of heater matrix in case water might just drip on it and run straight down and through. There is already a cover but not totally sure it enough. Belt and braces. I've ordered some nice red carpet and when it arrives will cut it to shape then most likely proceed to break Mums Paaf sewing machine edging it. The fella at the upholsters will add a drivers heel rubber mat for 10quid. I went to Richmond tyre world and met the fella there who has fitted a 12A into his HA Viva. He'll be trying to get it all finished for the car show too. And this local lady with an HA will hopefully turn up along with mates GT. Will be good to get a line up of old Vauxhalls. Oh- and the tyreworld fella did me an ace deal on some much needed new 185/60 13 tyres too. sweet as because the canvas is gonna start to show soon.
