Did someone shout me?  Wings err right how rich are you mate... normal price for a pair of Viva wings these days are £150-£250 upwards!!!  which normally makes the car un economical to repair, once you cost in welding paint and other such nicethings... just how bad are they, can you get away with plates and or filler?? Even firbe glass will set you back £100 + for second hand and £160 ish for new I don't personally have a pair to hand but I know where a set might be lurking....they are good second hand ones, no need to do anything other than weld them on. But i suspect the owner will want to keep hold of them as they are bloody hard to find these days. In truth this is the reason why most if not just about every HC that comes up for sale is scrapped, the cost of wings welding and paint, is twice the value of the whole car, even when done it might add £200 to the value of the car TOPS, and thats not even the cost of the replacement parts  Only other sugegstion I have is to speak to Tigs and see if he still has the Red one? if the wings are good, buy it, cut the front wings off and use them on yours. Weigh in the rest of the red one, might cover fuel??? (sin of sins I am suggesting scrapping a Viva, but sometimes one has to be used to save another) ;D ;D Tig's red one I know has curse word rear archs, so it was a right off in terms of repairing. No idea what the front wings are like?? If you do get Tig's red one let me know  ;D ;D |

Forgot to say , there are two diff types of wings for the Viva HC, what are known as High tops and the other is a flat top. a 1975 car will have the flat top wings, both will fit, but the High tops were used on the first of the Viva HC's up till 1973 (ish). Its the normal thing for some people to want high top wings in order to "try" and make the car look earlier than it is, ideally pre 1973 if you catch my drift  personally I can spot a real early HC in about 10 seconds irrespective of wings fitted. What you need to find to keep the car on the road is anything! but if your trying to keep it "right" then Flat tops are what you want.. Give us a PM I am home this afternoon (at work typing this ) and I cna give you a call and see what we can sort out ;D ;D |

Carmad - have you asked Bossman over on Retro Car Club ? I think he's on here as Vivadeluxe (or turbovivadeluxe).He scrapped a viva not too long ago but he may have taken the wings off beforehand ? ?worth a try..
