ha! Daves bro? really small world .... you must be the smart one in the family - he was goofy as me, draggin the thing home, you had the sense to pass it up not sorry I found it, just sorry the previous owner [b4 Dave] abused it so - it's slowly comin back to life tho, and unlikely anyone else will get it as long as I can still climb in it do stop in, I may be buried in the mill, but I'm around most of the time and once things dry out a bit more I'll be under or in daBus Bill

timbuk...My old man had 3 Viva HBs My last project was one of these I lowered it and had Jensen Interceptor alloy wheels on it. It's just as hard to get parts here,they were made of 'unobtanium!' That's when I sold it and bought a proper G.M!

timbuk....The link worked fine! My dad had a green HA Viva for a few weeks,we used to call it the puddle jumper! Talking of 'Land crabs' he also had an Allegro!of the same era (The shame of it!)  It was a truly awful POS! If you want I can try and source you a fuel pump here. I'll send you a PM if I find out anything.
