Happy to have the engine back in the hole.

Good motivating thing to get to this point.

Boots all stone chipped and sprayed out ready for the fuel tank and battery to be installed.

Looks all good in there now.

the white around the lip is just in case I decide to go that way.

not sure yet, I’m still undecided.Could still go all retro like the old wagon.

what do you guys reckon.

Just starting to get the interior all sorted.

black etched around the windows and dash.

dash will need a bit of work we’re I filled the holes in

Brushed all the alloy panels today and think they come up alright.

im going to see how much it would be to anodise them black, was thinking all black interior might be a nice change from standard alloy panel interiors.

Roofs all stone chipped and window surrounds are done.

Dash needs a lot of work to get right as it was badly pitted, probably from the vinyl pad on top

Found the original code for the green viva wagon so that’s what we’re going with.

will spray around the windows so we can get the front, rear and side windows installed.

[nels]

Slow progress on the interior but we’re getting there.

ive black etched and primered all the window openings so we can spray them in the green. We have gone with the same original colour of the viva wagon which should be cool 

that way I can keep moving and install the windows.
