Hey! My names Craig, 24 years young in Kent. I recently purchased a cameo beige with the brown vinyl roof, 2 door hc! I love it, £200 I've got the engine running right (1256) another £50 I've temporarily fixed a rusty bottom rear arch with the use of alley mesh and some good ol' filler (though this isn't a permanent solution as I've seen on the forum rear arch panels are available and I do weld). Plans so far are to get it ready to be repainted the same original colour but in 2k (shun me) as the body is pretty solid apart from the previously mentioned lower arch and a dinky hole in the spare wheel well which is patch up later. What an amazing looking car! I come from having Mazda mx5s as my main drivers for years including 2 eunos mk1 imports, but they have nothing on the styling of the viva! Cudos vauxhall, much better than my previous experience with your company being a 2004 Corsa with a blown head gasket! Anyway, thanks for reading this far, as I've got your attention... Does anybody have the dual round headlights set up/ conversion for sale (for the HC?) And a bigger rear axle than the one on the 1256, one more suited for sitting at a decent speed on the dual carriageway. Many thanks in advance, and a thanks already for all the information available on this great forum, I've learnt a lot in just 2 weeks already! Look forward to making some like minded viva friends (hopefully) and hit up a few shows once the Co'rona virus and buggered off! Cheers - Craig
