1966 Singer Chamios (hillman imp)
possibly a long read...but bear with me ;D
I got it in the early part of last year looking a little sorry for itself....
so it was stripped to almost a bare shell...all the interior came out, all the glass came out and all the panels came off.
since then shes been fitted with:
new rubbers all round - doors, ALL windows etc etc...
new carpets all round
new track rod ends
a sparco drivers harness
new decklid handle (and other fixings to complete the car)
£300 worth of welding to the floors and sills
years M.O.T
malcolm anderson race springs.... so she sits quite low. ;D
and finished in nato green with a black roof (army style in matt)
the intention was to use the car daily and the above parts have been fitted to make it suitable to do so....which it was for quite a while.
but then after she started to smoke after long journeys. so she was taken off the road. i have another car so it has just sat there since (only about a month or so)
when i got the car the engine was 'rebuilt' but i think the cause of the smoking is a weeping ring (oooh errr
)to fit a new set of pistons and rings is not alot of money, but money i don't have right now....I'm gearing up for uni and i just cant see it getting done before then.....meaning it will be left for another month...then a year etc etc....
the car has the bumpers with overriders, wheel trims, body trim and all the other gubbins to make it complete (and an imp club membership) i didnt fit any of the chromework to tie in with the nato theme.
so basically I'm offering an M.O.T'd, weather proof imp with new suspension, new seals, new carpets, complete interior, complete chromework, but with a minor engine problem....
I'm after £500 for it.
(but ive spent ALOT more on it
)
