peteretep Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 looks like a good project man, I'll be interested to see how it handles as a rear engined car damn that yellow one is hot, just a couple of colors and so well done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thminiman Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I'll be interested to see how it handles as a rear engined car so am i had a little fiddle around with it today. it looks like a previous owner has restored it a bit ruggedly(got carried away with the bog and spatula) it still looks pretty sound tho. am getting pretty excited about the whole thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thminiman Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 that yellow one is mint! i think the deal wth the twin headlights are: hillman imps came out in only single (like mine) sunbeam imps came with the double (like the yellow one) also sunbeam produces the coupe type stillettos (like the yellow one) i think thats right... also, if any one knows of someone that needs bits for imps, PM me as ive got a few bits and peices i dont need. bumpers, interior etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bistro Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 imo the white rims look shit. 13*7" superlites wrapped in 175/50s. do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thminiman Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 yuh, but thing with superlites is that they're too simalr to the mini lights on thmini. so both my cars with similar wheels FTL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CUL8R Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 What about some trusty old Hotwires? Cheers,Chris Ps have you looked around for pictures in books of Jim Richards Sidchrome Imp??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thminiman Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 yea ive seen pics of that one, so nice, as for hotwires, it would be pretty hard to get them in the right stud pattern and size. thats the good thing about those white ones, can get them undrilled + brand New + whatever size i feel like/need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteretep Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 you can get superlites undrilled too , nah go with something different, something not every man and his dog has Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 go some reasonable width revolutions or some wide steels with hubcaps fuck, so much time to decide though, might happens across something badass along the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thminiman Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 yea, the stud pattern on the superlites wasnt an issue, was the hotwires someone was talking bout... gees, cant u read... lol but yea, im wanting something different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
