SAVED for a 2nd time Visa Cabriolet in Edinburgh! - New Clutch fitted

[Kringle]

Why not do it like a roffle, work out how much is needed for cills and other parts and divide by number of 'tickets'. we can then buy as many of said 'tickets' as we want until all numbers taken?

Sounds like a man who wants to organise such a thing. What does the winner get?

[DSdriver]

Best left to someone who is not a roffle organising virgin

I've PM'd FOAD to ask him if he's ok in me running a £2 a ticket roffle to raise funds. 

 

I'm sure we can find a prize* or two.

[Broadsword]

Quite a collective effort on saving this car. To be honest I didn't know a rag top Visa existed!

[aldo135]

I live in Edinburgh and have often seen this going about. Think he had a Dyane before? Great effort FOAD, would be a nice ending if the guy gets it back. Will definitely stick a few quid in any fund that gets set up!

Some people are a glutton for punishment - especially if they don’t know a friendly welder

They did mention having a Dyane before, they said the thing they enjoyed most with both that and the Visa was driving to the seaside for a bag of chips and feeding them to seagulls out of the roof...

I've agreed with FOAD that I'll just collect donations for now as a third party. Money to be passed to FOAD from me.

 

So please just indicate if you want to donate but quoting this post and adding your name and amount- and I'll PM parties my PayPal address.

I'm quite happy sticking a fiver in too.

 

I also have a few Visa parts floating around the garage. Not many though but it's worth asking me to look round the garage. I think I've cornered the market in rear light assemblies due to me drunkenly forgetting I'd already ordered them and accidentally ordering some more the next day, so if it needs one of them we're onto a winner here.

Listen, don't get me wrong fellas. I don't need a plate, especially at christmas but there was 300 odd quid sitting there to help pay for whatever. It's not plate raping, it's last minute readies for a desperate car, to keep it on the road. Just think my offer may have been taken out of context by some. Well done Foad. Please continue..

Not sure if I've done that right but you get the idea and you know where to find me.

 

I was made very welcome by Mr and Mrs6c at their Visa 40th anniversary rally back in the summer and was impressed with the collection there. They were a good fit with my Skoda in terms of basic, make a car as simple as possible, 1980s engineering so I'd be happy to make a small contribution to keeping another one running.

Huge thanks to everyone who is helping out here - in whatever way you are - it's all very much appreciated to help this little car stay alive!

[sierraman]

Well worth some proper reconstructive surgery this. There’s a big difference in preserving something like this and scrapping a 15 year old Astra due to welding. Worth buying the sills even to take patches from.
