Yoeddynz and Hannah's HB Viva Wagon Discussion

[chris r]

I always admire your work,keep it up. Good luck for the wof

[azzurro]

Good luck!

Need to put bonnet on to maintain secret sleeper identity. With the bonnet off everyone can see what a hot rod it is with your massive air filter and all

[Nominal]

Surely the coke bottle styling the and fantastic wheels will win over the WOF tester?

[yoeddynz]

What type of dizzy cap do you need?

The early Delco style?

I think so? Its the type that's held down with two little spring clips (Oh that just includes almost every bloody dizzy cap out there ever...)  . They dont seem to sit perfectly flat ie doesnt locate as well as the good old D25 type dizzy cap. I'll get a photo...

 

Good luck!

This is true! Only just last night on my trip to the beach I had not one but two Tiidas and one Demio trying to take me on for a race..

 

Surely the coke bottle styling the and fantastic wheels will win over the WOF tester?

Yes! That's the plan. He is a classic fan and dailies a El Camino He loves my other Viva so  I shall win his heart again with the Viva style. Who can resist the Vauxhall Viva...

 

Yeah wrong car I know.. but I couldnt find an HB advert!?

[kyteler]

Fairly confident you'll either pass or the fail will be something essentially inconsequential that you'll be able to sort almost immediately.

[vivaspeed]

Blown bulb for the fail.

 

/good luck

[8ball]

Thats one thing im glad i don't have to worry about here.

Have a car thats not been registered in almost 10yrs.

I just log onto the gov reg website click a few boxes, and boom its back on the road.

[igor]

Where in the world are you then?

[8ball]

Australia.

[yoeddynz]

Well I made it to the wof. It's in good hands...

I have learned to ignore the temp gauge.. it tells lies. Maybe wrong sender for the cluster I'm using that's the old one from Viva one.

The fuel gauge ain't working. The alternator light randomly comes on. The speedo cable has now snapped at the other end !

But I made it and now I eat pies while I wait for the result.

[Nominal]

Don't you need a working speedo for WOF?

[igor]

Only if first registered after December 1951.

[yoeddynz]

Blown bulb for the fail.

 

/good luck

You get todays gold star!

[oldrx7]

awesome result!

 

Considering what the car looked like at the beginning of the build thread, so many people would be amazed its going again!  well deserved brew

[yoeddynz]

Beer and chips for dinner!

Just rummaged through my speedo cable collection and I have another inner long enough to fix the broken one. sweet.

[chris r]

Well deserved that beer! congrats. I bet you are satisfied it passed

[nzvohc]

Congrats on getting legal beagle, it's a great feeling after a long haul!

Pics look great. I think you should try and pick up an old surfboard to mount on the roof, would really suit.

See you at the meet.

[vivaspeed]

Awesome.  Just awesome.

 

I am so jealous of you having a road legal HB wagon.  Please leave it in your will to me / give me first right of refusal if for some unknown reason you ever sell it.

[8ball]

If i could do the little emojis id give you the "we're not worthy" one.

Congrats on passing.

Now lets see if you can clock the odometer and cruise the f#ck out of that thing.

[yoeddynz]

Let's see how long before it gets another motor.....

But yeah for now I just wanna cruise.
