coldturkey Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 hey I just bought a 1976 Vauxhall Viva HC, gonna start a build topic soon. Dont really know anything about these cars, what kinda suspension/brake upgrades suit these cars? Handles like a waterbed on a cloud ! Someone mentioned commodore running gear? what sort of commodore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoeddynz Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 check out vauxhall viva owners club forum. There is shit loads of info on there - anything you need to know they'll help. Anything will go into viva engine bay- its pretty big eh.! Someone in england put a jag straight 6 in one. What a cool concept! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Planning to try and get to firestone to have tyres removed off cracked dunlops And hoping to pick up some steels for the viva. If it doesn't work out can you think of any one else with 13" steels of a viva? Can still bring those bits for ya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
