so plans are to straighten it out strip the hand painted red and rainbow flake off it and respray it yellow, it was originally a pale yellow but i gonna go brighter , i also got a set of civic jordan seats for it, drop it and get it on the road asap, longer term convert it to manual with overdrive and twin carb alloy head as seth has done to his, this aint a big money project and never will be but should be fun,reliable and daily family transport when done heres a pic of the look I'm aiming for

Really good looking cars. Look forward to watching your plans unfold.
I like the idea of a South London look one. Low on 13x7's.

lol i was waiting for someone to mention the car on wheels under the sill, in my defence i only had the new shop a week and was only supposed to be dropping wheels off as none of my kit is in there yet, but u know how it is i opend the boot and found a jack n socket set my mate put the kettle on an "lets see what them rims fit like" turned into stripping the strut out and fiddling with the wing this is the best shot of the wing before i attacked it want u cant see is the fact he had blended the grill into the front of the wing and the fact that its approx 1/2 shorter than the other side in this pic u can see the second patch of primer half way up the wing well its filler up to there and whoever repaired it has beaten the top of the wing in approx 1/2 all the way down then built it up with filler

The Hunter Royal was an Australian Model. It should have a Hunter Dash and instrument cluster but Singer trim. If it is, that could explain why its relatively solid (be sure to check front floors and outriggers - they all seem to go there.

@ mrabody ur bang on it is an australian model has the strip dash other than that i dunno on the interior as most of it is gone along with the external trim and badges but i do have a folder box full of all the receipts of its life down under including engine rebuilds, insurance cover notes etc seems it lived in new south wales i suspect it had a vinyl roof at some time sort of like a budget scepter
and hillmanjames cant see me selling this one tbh hoping my baby boy will wont it when hes old enough

thanks for the kind comments guys, to answer a couple of questions this has the 1725 engine but the single carb iron head version, this will eventually be getting the alloy head and twin carbs and possibly a bike carb conversion but with house move in the next 4 weeks i can only grab the odd few hours here and there at the moment i also have a lead on a complete engine o/d gbox prop and back axle out of an old hillman gt for a ridiclously reasonable price the only downer is the 400 odd mile round trip lol and heres a pic of the first set of wheels i brought but due to offset they wont go under the arches so 6.5x14 wont go
