smokin' joe Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 has any one restored one of these? i am wanting the part number for the 2 rear window rubbers, as they might be one of the many that Basis stock, but don't have a picture of. the body seal that goes around the opening and the window seal that goes around the window frame. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranter Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Yes have a couple of Imps and 1 about to be restored. The rear window and side window rubbers we get from England because I've seen people try to make their own with not so good results but if you find them in NZ it would be good. The one on the window frame looks easy to replace para rubber spec. No part numbers but they list the price as 12 quid for seal on body and 11 for seal on frame, not sure on how old those prices are now though. spares@malcolmanderson.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m0ss4yy Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 You could try Tom Scott of Tas Automotive in auckland. He will probably know or have something. he has heaps of hillman Hunters and imps. (09) 460-0165 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranter Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Got a block off Impworks a couple of weeks back and he was throwing out alot of stuff, he is not doing to well by the looks, he is out in Woolston now.

R100 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 I have owned 7 Imps and used 4 of them as paddock bashers. I realise this is no help to you but i felt the need to post this. Ive also had piles of imp stuff including rare workshop parts books NOS engines boxes etc but threw them all away. Of coarse it was many years ago when imps were worth shit.

Ranter Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Block cost $200 and the last two cost about $75 each. I also have a expensive Impwerks sport motor under the bench at work with about 250miles on it, it leaked and burnt oil and never run right, ended up re-ringing an old motor and its goes just as good I can't believe we still buy off him but some things are hard to find. As for value I'm not sure they will be worth anything ever, I sold a couple on trademe lately,(on behalf) both better than new but original, Hillman went for $4500 and the Sunbeam $5500. The current hack is a $160 trademe special + just found a 1 owner chch new one for resto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
