Hello from the East of Ireland

Hello everyone, I'm Chris
I am currently restoring a HB Deluxe Automatic Viva.

I'm 17yo and living and working in Ireland as a vintage mechanic for tractors and cars.

If anyone has sources for body panels,door/window rubbers or parts for the Hb 4 door 2.0litre viva please feel free to let me know or if anyone has parts themselves I will more then likely buy them because the Viva is very rusty and some panels are easier bought then fixed.

Email me @ mitchellc026@gmail.com.

Thanks,

Chris

2L? NICE! Welcome, try East-Kent trims for your rubbers :)

I am currently working on the shell of the Viva there is a lot of rust. I have successfully rebuilt the floor in the front and I am now welding up the boot floor. Pretty much every panel or part has rust so door panels, a fuel tank , outer sills, and the boot lid and frame have to still be done but if you know of anyone selling remakes or original panels I will more than likely buy them.

Thanks ,
Chris
