Hello all,

I'm new here. Cool forum! Plenty of posts going on which is good! I have an HC Viva estate which is off for it's first mot in many years this week... :shock:
I could use some help from you guys- I have a small parts request in the relevant section.

Cheers!
Andrew.

Hi, Andrew, and welcome. I thought for a moment that someone was trying to nick my name lol (not wearing my glasses) Ask any questions, some of us might give a sensible answer (not always though as you may have noticed) Before Pete says it, what's the registration? Oh, and pics. We like pics :-) Fingers crossed for a pass.

Despite having The Worst Paintjob Known To Man the bodywork is actually reasonable, although the previous owner's description of the car was a tad optimistic to say the least... :lol: :roll: . "The brakes work fine"... er, yeah, well, the front ones almost did, and God only knows how because the rubber pipes were so perished and cracked I have no idea at all how they held fluid...

However, it's getting sorted and it's all fun... :imsmiling:

I'm not really a Vauxhall man, just into 70s cars in general and when I saw it on the net I felt sorry for it...
