1969 Hb Deluxe

Postby steve_1984 » Thu Oct 27, 2016 1:02 am

Here's my viva that i bought a few months back, its turned out to be more of a project than i thought, but it's not far off an mot now!

Just need to sort out a fault with the wiper then it should be ok for an mot. It's been a bit frustrating sourcing bits that shouldn't even be missing, but it's all part of owning a classic!

Its badged as an SL90 but interior and everything else is a Deluxe as far as I can tell. Not sure on the engine though as it has a 1256 rocker cover, but the dipstick has a pot on it that i've not seen before on later 1256's

Just ordered a set of bushes from Vauxhall Green Parts to sort out all the slop in the wiper linkage. But i'm off to Tenerife on Monday so i'll have to get cracking when I get back!

That's all I can see that it will need for the mot!! :woohoo:
