the viva in a state of bits and peices!

[harris66]

still shed loads of bodywork to do on the viva, since the pix were taken its had rear arches, sills, mostly now in primer, the rear has been lowered to where we want it and it looks fab, so understated no one will no whats under it! just the small matter of making 5.7litres sound like a 1256cc 4 pot............

skylines are awesome mate. I like your R32, more my thing i guess...and the viva coupe is awesome too!!! So specs? RB26? 25? 20? haha, AWD or RWD?

OHHH that bulhead on the viva looks kitted out for some serious BHP.... come on do tell its story ;D

[harris66]

ok the viva is being put together with the intention of keeping a stock appearance, its a shame i had to cut the bulkhead out as it was the only good bit in the floor when i got it!!! the engine in the pik is a 350 chevy, it will be built again with forged pistons, decent crank and rods, i have corvette heads with big valves, and a decent cam and the holley carb and intake u can see, i want to make a reliable 350hp then top it off with a 150hp nitrous shot ;D the box is a modded th350 with high stall torque converter. the axle is a dana 44 with lsd, narrowed with scimiter axle ends and back plates, brakes. competition engineering ladder bars and coil overs too, theres a summitt fuel cell in the boot. I'm keeping the rostyle wheels as i love the 70s look, vauxhall on the front and bigger 14in on the back from an mgb so i could use 215 60 14 drag radials, not had chance to do a lot with it this last few months but rest assured work will begin again in ernest shortly, ready for next year. watch this space
