4dr HB saloon

Postby Chrisfrumtarn » Wed Jun 21, 2023 1:47 pm

Hi all , just aquired a late 4dr saloon, been looking for a VIVA for quite a time but what with work and life in general its only just happened, Ive come full circle from passing my test in 1972 in my then monza red 2 dr (69) to this last project , been retired 3 years now so it will keep me busy inbetween my voluntary work at a transport museum and keeping my other steed "Glady"s" the minor 1000 in decent fettle.
Hope everyone has a great day.
Cheers.

Pictures on here can only be a maximum of I think 800 x 600 pixels so they'll need to be re sized to be able to post on here

Its the Isle of Man one from a few years ago on the forum, Needs plenty of welding and bodywork sorting but Ive time on my hands, its running reasonably well but of course it is 53 years old so theres bound to be things need doing, chassis rails including gearbox mounting area and where it bends up where the subframe mounts are pretty shot, they are my priority, make it as safe as possible and then its really a running resto then, Never going to be a show stopper, just a reliable car to use in the show season :) :)
