CUL8R Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Was this the one that also had the auction for a wrecked 1800? Step Bro has a HC Estate, got a pair of 13x8 Superlites brand new, drilled to suit 4x4" (101.6 or whatever it is), could be yours for cheaps?

Was does it need done to get running? its had another motor put in and all it needs is to be wired up ,sort a fuel line and play with the dizzy a bit. then it will need the bolts put in the driveshaft and somemore in the gearbox. but aprt from all the shit covering it its a very clean car. dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoeddynz Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 hannah and i met this young fella near high st, chch. He was sat in his hc viva. He had ran out of petrol and was waiting on girlfriend to rescue him. It was standard. Looked so cool against all the modern shit. Fuck he was happy- he loved his little viva. I like it when i meet young folk who are passionate about proper old cars- gives me hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikuni Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Just putting it out there, I know of an epic 1256 if you wanted to splash out. Its from a Viva so would bolt in, has a Toyota K50 behind it so an okish 5 speed along with all mounts, driveshaft etc, everything you need. Dude would probably want a couple grand for it though.
