My dad bought this derelict Hillman imp that had been Rotting for nearly 30 years with 20k miles on the clock!!! Its a hillman imp GT and has 998cc rear engine with twin SU carbies The interior was Vgood. as you would expect from a car with 20k on the clock. the goal was a ground up rebuild for historic registry and for Coventry class (i think thats what it is called) here are some pics when we first looked at it.... (i kept the amount of pics on this thread to a minimum.. there where literally hundreds) LET THE FUN BEGIN!! We started my pulling the shell down to nearly nothing ready for paint and panel. now for the motor Obviously a lot more went into this but i didnt want to make a thread too big After ALOT of spanner throwing and heartache this is the end resault of the build. In total it took about 6 months. Pretty quick if u ask me. ...... Like i said i got soooo many pics of every minor detail including a hell of alot of brake and suspension work. rust proofing, rubbing back, gear box, electrical, interior. the list is huge. so i just gave a brief wrapup of what has been done. Hope u enjoyed . |
