triumph...tristan Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 After seeing Slacker Sams Hillman Estate, i wanted one so bad. So the other weekend i scored this Hillman of a awesome oldschool member. im super stocked with it. I got a bus ticket to New Plymouth and drove it back to Levin. The car surprisingly drove and handled mint. The cars super tidy, it just has the odd imperfection. The previous owner replaced the carpet, so the interiors practically perfect. Its so nice. At some stage in the cars life it got certified for coilovers, so im happy as about that. . It looks mint as it is But the plans for it are: To wind the coils down more, and to get the leafs reset, for More lowness haha. Get the steel wheels Banded to a decent size and polish up the center caps, still contemplating on what color i should paint the wheels, i was thinking like a creme color. Find the early Hillman Minx grill and bumpers, they look alot sweeter. And probably a roof rack with some beer crates. All in all ill keep the car as mint as possible. Ill be daily driving it and trying to get the kms up super HIggggh haha. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

triumph...tristan Posted June 25, 2016 Author Share Posted June 25, 2016 So the indicators dident work at all when i got it, I found that the indicator stalk was broken, I then found that there practically the same as Triumph 2500 ones, so i put one of the triumph ones on, now they work as they should. I also painted the inside of the wheels black, i reckon it looks so much nicer now, Ive been getting heaps of compliments about the color too haha. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It needs more lowness first tho haha. (Its just a quick go on Photoshop) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

triumph...tristan Posted August 2, 2016 Author Share Posted August 2, 2016 So ive been driving this wagon heaps, and its so sweet. Decided i liked the idea of white wall tires so i got some. Thanks to the people who recommended me to get the sta ones, They were such a good price. Also in the process of doing the roof rack too, It should look good. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triumph...tristan Posted September 28, 2016 Author Share Posted September 28, 2016 So after some wiring issues this things back on the road, I haven't actually got around to buying whitewall tires yet, so there only painted on at the moment, and it looks terrible haha, Either way its a sweet car to drive.

triumph...tristan Posted September 28, 2016 Author Share Posted September 28, 2016 And i also finally got the roof rack mounted, good old battering tray hooks did the job, i just hope it dosent fall off haha. Do you guys reckon it looks better with the roof rack or without it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
