- In this video the Viva gets its first wash and polish since 1991. I spray paint in a confined space and like the outlaw I am, I don't follow the instructions. As usual fun, tea and biscuits!

I love your attention to detail picking your nose!!!!😀😀😀😀😀😀
😆👍
Absolutely awesome! Looking forward to the next installment!
Thank you mate 👍
Look at you with your fancy masking film, when I was young we used newspaper, tell the kids that today and they won't believe you! 🤣👍
😆 I'm moving up in the world mate 😆 I used to use that too, and left over Christmas wrapping paper 👍
Good job. My dad painted a whole car with rattle cans before and it looked good. Keep going! 👍
Thank you mate, ah mint! 😃 will do👍!
She’s looking well Steve. All fur coat and no knickers - ha!
😆 thank you mate 👍
Man that came up well 👍, seeing nice fresh paint like that is good for the soul, denotes renewal.
Thank you mate 👍
I made a mistake, I only tuned in to watch as I thought it was a bikini try-out, boy was I in for a shock. On here the colour looks spot on, and it does show where you put G3 to work.
😆 thanks mate, yeah it seems like a realy good match 👍
You need new number plates now 😊
Whatever you do, it's going to improve the car, so just carry on doing what you're doing. 👍
I know mate 😄, I'm gonna try at least cleaning it first, will do 👍
Hi Steve.
I think you are doing just great. Keep up the good work, you will get there.
Thank you mate will do 👍
Really enjoying the videos mate. Nice to see someone having a bit of fun and doing a nice presentable job at the same time. 👍
Thank you mate, appreciate it 👍
Looks great for a quick hand job, don't put yourself down everyone has to start somewhere matey.
Thanks mate 👍
14 minutes 31 of quality entertainment, not a turbo or an LS swap in sight. Good job. As ever great to see Nice one Steve 👍
Thank you mate, appreciate it 👍
My man, there is nothing wrong with what you are doing as everybody had learn the same as you. You can always in a couple of weeks repaint what ever you want again as long as the paint has hardened and you give a good key for the next layer of paint.
Exactly mate! , thank you 👍
Paint jobs make all the difference but as we know it's all in the preparation.
valance looks great steve, like you said she is a survivor, she doesn't need to be mint
Thank you mate 👍
The best.
😃👍
Thanks for another good video! Back valance looks champion 👍
Your very welcome and thanks mate 👍
And so it begins , the best bit where you can see the progression you’re making ..! What’s the plans Steve are you going to rattle can the entire car? It’d look proper mint if you did. Get your self an orbital sander for next time , make your life a lot easier ..! Great vid as always mate, looking forward to Sunday ❤👍🏻
I will be painting the whole car myself eventually, maybe rattle can maybe with a compressor I don't know yet😃 I definitely need to invest in a sander, thank you mate 👍
Much support mate 💪 keep that old girl going
Thanks mate, will do 👍
My hat is off to you! the progress in small steps is paying off big time :D
Thank you mate 👍
Well done Steve. An old car and a rattle can is where it's at for me. Throwing thousands at a restoration company and doing nothing yourself is totally boring. Long live the driveway hero.
Thank you mate, appreciate it 👍
Learnt to drive in a HB Viva very roomy and quite comfortable.
Great fun as always! Looks good from my house. Greetings from Devon. Love the channel.
😃 thank you mate 👍
A new set of number plates will really set it off nicely
It certainly would mate, I'm gonna try cleaning them at least to start with😄👍
That's a huge improvement Steve mate Getting rid of the scabby bits means the men with pointy heads aren't as drawn to it. I know you've got in great shape it looks mint now
Thank you mate, appreciate it 👍
Feckin ell i actually remember sniffing glue after school in the very early 70s , lady esquire shoe glue 😮 was the best for a good high with no after effects lol them was the days.😊
😄👍
Quality video mate, and a good result keep up the good work
Thank you mate will do 👍
Nice job! You are inspiring me to paint my shabby MX5😊
Thank you mate, ah nice one, go for it! 👍
Well done Steve.
Thank you mate 👍
Yes, i was entertained (as usual) and well done with the rear panel, jobs like that are great for morale!
Brilliant! Thanks mate 👍
Coming together 😊
Thank you 👍
Nice job Steve.
The mudflaps were optional.
They were made with rubber and had string through them to reinforce them.....made the same way as my VX490 set
Thank you mate and thanks for the info 👍
Very enjoyable, Steve. It's a great feeling when you work on an older car and you can see it gradually getting better and better. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you mate, it certainly is 👍
Nice job….. looks like a new car now👍
😃 thanks mate 👍
Cracking job, great work
Thank you mate 👍
Great detailing episode - 😂 On a more serious note, the car is looking well.
Thanks mate I've already had sponsor offers from meguiars, 😄👍
Vallance looking good , keep the vids coming 👍
Thanks mate, will do 👍
Looks great 👍
Thanks mate 👍
Thats not bad for a rattle can Steve, you've just got the rest of the car to do now lol. Very entertaining. Takes me back to my younger days when I used to do the same with my old 1972 mini clubman. Keep the vid's coming mate😂😂💯👍
😆 ooh I like the old mini's, thank you mate, will do 👍
Canny job there Steve ! Looks well . Loved the montage and music Tarantino has competition 🤭🤭 !
Film producer of the future? Maybe
Took me back to my own viva, glacier blue . Painted the front valance over and over till i finally gave up and done it matt black.
😆 thank you mate 👍
I find number plates and rear light clusters tend to come up a treat with car wax they only usually seem to have a very mild abrasive in them.
Thanks mate,I'll give it a try👍
Deadly... great transformation. If that Viva could talk it would thank you all day long.
"I made it, Pops." 😂
I reckon you'd be great at standup.
😆 thank you mate, appreciate it 👍
Joking aside i know you ain't spent much time on that valance bit but it really and honestly don't look bad whatsoever can only imagine what you can do with a bit more time and effort starting to look pretty god damn good now mate love the videos and the car old cars have proper character all modern cars look the same to me
It didn't look too bad did it, yeah you cant beat the old school cars, thank you mate, appreciate it,👍
😂😂Thank you again for a laugh and down to earth post and it's looking pretty good for a rattle can well done 😂
😄 your very welcome, thank you mate 👍
That looks brilliant mate
Thank you mate 👍
hi dad😀
ALL seem ok on the video and starting to take shape. stop knock yourself there are plenty people out there that can do that. Just do your best and if you are happy with it. Then that's all that counts. Graet to join your on your journey of the rebuild, keep up the great work on the car and with your videos. Music is canny, but I would sooner listen to your Darth Vader impression haha.
😆 thank you mate, will do 👍
Top job …. well I reckon that’ll do, it is a big decision whether to leave the patina and polish it up or repaint. Think the new coat suits it. Think your teasing us with the proper test drive now though… keep up the good work Sir👍🏻
Thank you mate 😆👍
Nice one Steve she looks much better..try Tcut on the marks they should come out no bother lad 👍
Thanks mate, i will do 👍
Thank you for another great video Steve.. As I've said before what you are doing takes me back to my days as a car trader back in the 80s & early 90s.. Whilst I'm still a petrol head and I regularly watch all the 'Posh' car channels with all the Fast Expensive Super Cars or 70s Muscle Cars I think your channel is the best. It takes me back to my hands on and rattle can days and brings me so much enjoyment and makes me smile ... Keep it up buddy..
😃 thank you mate appreciate it, will do, glad you're enjoying the channel 👍
Paint looks grand🤗👍🇮🇪
Thanks mate, 👍
good job mate Gary from Crewe 👍👍👍👍
Thank you mate 👍
That's a bloody good paint match going by the video, the rear valence looks great, I sprayed the old Hunter in the front garden, probably pissed the neighbours off but it came out alight, liked the little blooper right at the end lol, great vid mate, keep `em coming.
I like it front garden spray job, that's my style,😄 thank you mate, will do 👍
Top work Steve,the back valance is perfect,I would be happy with that,the before and after shots are brilliant.
😃 thanks mate 👍
That's a tidy rear end, ooooohh matron. 🤣
😆 it certainly is mate 👍
Alright mate! Back panel turned out canny 👌 should be no bother painting straight over the etch if its a decent make, you'll need your hibuild for the repairs. I've used some cheap primer before where it said to leave 24hrs... I didn't and painted over after about an hour, primer was still too soft, although looked fine for a few days it started cracking after 🤦♂️ own fault for buying cheap primer 🤣🤣👍🤟
Alright mate, thanks for the info, I'll see how the paint fairs over the next few weeks, I wasn't expecting much from my rush job tho 😄👍
@@RetroRebuild ah it looked a canny finish to be fair mate 👍
The colour match isn't bad at all. Obviously the ambient lighting isn't good enough to show us how it's dried off, or how much pitting is left in the surface but for a rattlecan test, it's not bad for a first try.
It's not looking to bad for a rush job
Mate, 👍
Always entertaining, brightens up my Sunday mornings. Real nice job with the paintwork too, it's going to be a smart looking car.
Thank you mate, appreciate it 😃👍
Love your rattle can technique! I did the same on the Torana.
Thank you mate, nice one 👍
Rust never stops, even when you are away, its the car killer, I wire brush like mad and a coat of neutra rust, that rust got to die, if the paint comes of rub it down again, its only pain, plus the police dont pull shiney cars has much. its shows you care.
I'll keep chasing the rust mate 😃👍
Thats great Steve, the HC was so quick to pull off tail lights & badges off for repainting 😊 a huge improvement.
The mudflaps were definitely an optional extra, rather like overriders.
If in my case the HC, if they were not available, the GM dealer in New Zealand put the Holden mudflaps on, known in Australia as the "Holden - Highrise" mudflap.🌈👍👌📸🌎🗽
Thanks Vernon and thanks for the info 👍
Dude it looks good 👍 DIY good or bad whoop whoop 🙌🏻 I did a set old 80’s JDM rims in kinda the same fashion you did with this bit and actually got positive comments even though I thought it was a bit rushed toward the end lol
Thank you mate 👍, as long as it looks good from a distance, job done 😆
Geez your lucky to get a Christmas present ☹️, even for my birthday all I get is a deep grunt off my bro 😎, name & shame David 😂 you know who you are 😁. Nice spraying 👌🏻 but I think your extraction fan was switched off 😉 and love that you even went to the trouble of tracking down matching colour Co ordinated ramps for the Viva 😁 not easy to find those anymore, looks great mate 👍🏻.
😆 my lungs were the extraction system 😆 thank you mate 👍
That's better! Incremental improvements. There's a Pinewood green HB in my late Dad's garage. That got rattle canned in more-or less matching greens in the 1980s. Kept the rust at bay on the top. The underpinnings got cut and spliced, the teabag bumpers got binned and the worn out motor (odometer stopped at 168,000 years before the motor got too 'past it') got swapped for a ford......
Thanks mate, ah nice I like the hb's would love to restore one in the future 👍
@@RetroRebuild This particular HB is a bit beyond 'restoration' due to all the mods - done to keep it on the road when spares were unobtainable and dosh was scarce. It is an '80s timewarp - even has a 'mutant' sticker on the back, free with the late lamented AWoL magazine. This was a custom bike mag that featured rats, survival bikes, street fighters, diesel specials, trikes, chopped UJMs and not just Harleys.
Knoppers at the ready!!! Aye, mudflaps were an optional extra on Vivas. Might have been standard on Magnums etc. Looks much better with a puff in of yellow, bud!
Sorry, bud, not standard on any model.
I bought a brand new 1977 Magnum in Ruby Red with Cream vinyl roof and I had to pay £12.09 for the genuine mudflaps.....and that was the price fitted.....my missus went nuts at spending the extra 12 quid 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😃 I need to restock on knoppers 😆 thanks mate 👍
Great stuff Steve, keep it going !!
Thanks mate, will do 👍
Great job buddy just the rest of the car To go lol 😂
Thanks mate 😄👍
I had a 1976 chevette saloon late 70s and i dont think it came with mudflaps , i did paint the part between the two rear light clusters black and side rear vents made it look like a magnum type otherwise it was a very bland looking white car .Can still remember the reg number as well how sad . Anyway good colour match on your paint work 👍
Nice, i like a chevette, I still remember a few reg's of my old cars😆 thanks mate 👍
Looks much better, why not paint between the rear lights in Matt black like the Magnum would look great against the Yellow 🟡
Thank you mate, I've thought about that before, I like that look, I wouldn't rule it out 😃👍
My best mate had a Viva the same age and colour -is it sunflower yellow? His was a two door but with the vinyl roof like yours and over time I helped him completely strip and rebuild the engine and sand down and repaint the car. This was 42 years ago and he's still my best mate!
It's golden yellow mate, ah sounds like great memories, I'd love a 2 door hc 👍
Loved it but clean the number plate please. Like putting on a manky shirt when you buy a new suit
😄 thanks mate, I'm going too 👍
Be good to see when it’s finished result, I had many years ago a Nova SR a mid 80s in Jamaica Yellow, looked similar to your Vivas colour.
👍I know the exact colour you mean mate, I love a nova 👍
@@RetroRebuild they were great cars 🚘
Sound job steveo looks better dont it?👍👍
Thank you mate, its not looking too bad 👍
Looking good the only thing that lets it down is the scruffy number plate. Looking forward to the next episode 👍👍
Thanks mate, 😄 I'm gonna see how the plate cleans up 👍
No problems with etch primer.
Thanks mate 👍
where have you gone havent seen a vid for months i really miss your content
Found myself laughing when my mind went "No!!!" as you shut the boot with the keys in - think about the paint chips!!! Love it when people restore cars that most would regard as too "normal" to be bothered with. Spotted this video on YT today that you might enjoy? th-cam.com/video/MlzKe4igWYY/w-d-xo.html
😆 thanks mate, yeah I've seen that vid that is one tidy viva 👍
I've seen cars much newer than the Viva that look more rustier than that. According to the HC colour charts in 1975 this is Golden Yellow. I've just sprayed over some rusty spots on my car. It looks terrible but it should stop it for now.
Thats right mate, golden yellow, with bright white pinstripes, that's all I'm bothered about too, stopping the rust 👍
It has every right to look a bit rusty for a 45yr old car
Looks great for a quick lick of paint, are you doing the same on the other patches and leave it until the body works done? Top video Steve
Thanks mate, yeah I'll give some other panels ago when I repair the bad patches, 👍
I should not let my wife watch your videos. Little viva gets first wash in 30 years. What about you she says, that’s nowhere like your record. And as for your underpants and socks!!!! Too much information you think. Seriously though, lovely to see HC progressing, she will be a sweet little motor when it’s finished. Then you can start on mine!
😆 thanks mate 👍
Ghost spotted at 3:40
Lovely finish by the way, you say it isn't perfect but for a quick job I think it looks great
😆 it's the ghost of the original viva owner
😃 thank you mate, it doesn't look too bad 👍
Don't forget to thoroughly clean your toothbrush before cleaning your teeth again ....,
😆 will do mate 👍
My father inlaw has an HB gently rotting on his drive. So sad
Ah never mate, get it sold on 👍
Clean the number plate mate x
It's on the list mate 👍
What video editing app do you use? If you dont mind! Im thinking of starting a stateside "sister" channel :)
It's just a free app on my phone mate called video guru, I downloaded it from the play store, one day I'll get a proper camera and a decent editor 😆
@@RetroRebuild I will do the same, I dont have a camera budget or a decent real computer anyhow haha
Thanks!
I had to take my headphones off cos I could hear a pigeon..
😆
Far from perfect but perfect from afar . K T F .
Thanks mate, that's a great saying 👍
That's the trouble if you know it's not quite right your not very happy every time you look at the job
Great work Steve seeing this classic being saved. Have you seen Chris Hill's restored Viva HC? Same colour I guess. th-cam.com/video/AR7oT4Uo05k/w-d-xo.html
Thank you mate, yeah I've seen it, lovely respray on it 👍
Canny job. Tidied it up
Thanks mate, it certainly did 👍
🚖 taxi
😄
You can paint directly over etch primer.when I sand through high build primer I use etch primer before top coat.
Thanks for the info mate 👍
Hi Steve are you still interested in my hc spares if so give me email cheers dave
👍
