Well, first I plan to pull off the rear suspension and axle in one. Put it up on high stands and wire brush the underneath. Going to need a new back valance , wheel well and at least a partial outer sill.
New bushes all round and refurb the brakes then mount the suspension back up and do the same to the front.
Got to be systematic - its got to be confined to a single garage throughout!

Hiya
Its good to see another Viva out of hiding so to speak!
I reckon an auto must be pretty scarce.
Nice one
Are you gonna join the Viva Owners Club or are you already in it?

I've got a soft spot for HBs, and had an SL90 myself. What's the plans? Some modifications I hope.  |

HI
I think the auto is quite rare too! I have joined the club already but not had much feedback. Plans? Well, I'm what my friends call a "buffer". I don't go in for modification - I like to see it just as it was intended to be. As pristine as possible, accessorised, but original - not slammed to the floor or uprated with a rover V8 or anything! Sorry to disappoint - but it wouldn't be any fun if we were all the same !

Looks great, genuinely ratty. Or is that spidery (potential new trend!)?

I must say I hadn't really noticed the spiders - they must have only really showed up in the flash! I was more concerned with the woodlice under the carpet. I'm killing them and I don't care what the animal rights people say!
And its not bare metal!! its "silver" . OKAY!!!
