1974 Vauxhall Victor "The Rebel"

Good purchase matey, got to stay 70's tastic.

I knew i was bound to miss something really cool moving on friday! Man thats awsome, cant wait to see it parked outside barton hall!!!

little update.

shes home



and after some fun and games with the completely backwards alarm she runs again. and thats about all of the goodpoints so far.



bodgerytastic



I new the electrics were going to be fun but bodge after bodge has created a maze of random electrickery, as the previous owner said it is one bodge from total meltdown.






bodyowrk is ok forward of the b pillar but where the filler cap has been moved there are signs of the brown stuff coming through there and where the rar doors have been welded.





The back end is well..just nasty.









one nice thing is it came with the original invoice for the workdated '84, completed at "Lothians Automotive Tehcnical Services" by a Mr H.P Doherty.

this place still around? adress is

17, Broomieknowe park, Bonnybrigg, midlotian EH19 2JB?

owner at the time Mr. Arcari apparently

and its all exactly as stated on the paperwork, sadly time has taken its toll by now.

now i'm biding my time untill i pluck the courage up to look behind the dashboard of a million switches or anywhere near under the rear seats.

Nice one, my hat is off.

ah, your not the first to say that about the lights so theres a good chance your right.
I believe alistarik said it might have been in street machine, there is indeed a street machine sticker on the dash would be ace if it was!
not a great deal of history but the invoice for the work completed is nice to have, "audioline stereo worth £200" made me chuckle - thats still there too.

reciept for £400 quids worth of exhaust from 2006 made me happy too



Ah right, I have a qvvestion..

it came with an insurance valuation cert. from the NRSA 07/10/2005 (2 years worth?) valuation for use in connection with the nrsa insurance scheme.
Whats the deelio with this does it mean in was insured as a rod? or got some sort of special deal for the insurance.
It also says it must be renewed prior to expiry.
Do I need to be a member of the NRSA do make use of it, is it worth it?

Paint that black... slam it over banded steelies with huge dish, chrome the side pipes... sex. on wheels.

This is one of my favourite rides on the whole board! ;D

Loving the electric window switches slap bang in the middle of the gashboard!!

It's your car to do as you please with, i'm just really hoping it stays pretty much as it is.... It's too cool!

lil update

got most of the interior out today to see where the loom was running.



and began to crack on with the electrickery, oh the joys...



nice huh.

removed two fuse boxes plus some other stuff that didnt appear to be doing anything.








its now 'safe' and most things still work which is a bonus!

ahh my brain hurts now

OMG i love this car more & more, i've been hangin out for an update!

Glad to see you managed to get it in the garage too!

Shelf speakers.

Win.
