RUNAMUCK Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 I though about it after the weekend. Given how bent up that ex race car is, (And how agricultural the roll cage is) you probably can use it for rust cuts to fix the green one with a clear concience.

yoeddynz Posted June 14, 2018 Author Share Posted June 14, 2018 Yeah you are completely correct there. That race car shell will never see the road again with its front end in that state. But its sills and complete rear end are in great condition but for some localised typical areas of old car rot such as the very bottom of the rear corners etc. If I dont end up selling them together to someone who wants a project then it will most likely get cut up for panels. I certainly have enough stuff here to build another car. Must keep a look out for live plates and tags which always helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Wow, TOP IMP plates what are the chances https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/personalised-plates/listing-1676527807.htm?rsqid=84ac9a91f7bc4465846574b5d7913c5a 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoeddynz Posted July 31, 2018 Author Share Posted July 31, 2018 Ha.. Its funny you mention that. I'd been watching this one in the uk out of interest and it ended up selling for way more than I expected. Wow @what folk will pay for old dinky toys. https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/DINKY-138-HILLMAN-IMP-SALOON-/123159391457?oid=302816683204 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajg193 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Not a Starlet radiator. It would probably be worth trying to fit a more common radiator into the car as it would cost hundreds of bucks to get that one rebuilt when it inevitably leaks or the fins rot. I've seen one like that somewhere before, I'll let my brain mull over it and tell you if I figure out what it is from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokin'joe Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 good work on the bonnet, mine was in better nick, but was told it would be $1500 to get real good again!!, maybe i didn't need the spendy one from Aussie ?? radiator looks like CR39 Liteace van (can measure one here for you) , but the EA82 Subaru Leone had a similar one from memory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoeddynz Posted November 11, 2018 Author Share Posted November 11, 2018 Oh cool- yeah this radiator is in really good nick (he says until he discovers a small leak upon start up.....) so it'll be fine for long time. I'll ask a radiator friend to see if he can recognise it too. Yep I'm happy with the bonnet. All the repairs will have a skim of filler and this be no different. Just happy is in one piece now There was a mint one on FB nzimp page a while back at $400 but even that's too much for me - its more satisfying to just repair given the condition of everything else.It aint ever gonna be a minta and I'll just be stoked to drive the damn thing!

RUNAMUCK Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Stunning work. however, a missed opportunity I feel. You could have inverted the disacharge out through the bonnet like a proper supercar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoeddynz Posted November 25, 2018 Author Share Posted November 25, 2018 Ahhh yes... But that would give the game away that it is indeed a supercar with the 69 bhp power of a mighty A12 at its disposal. It's all about the sleeper... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoeddynz Posted November 26, 2018 Author Share Posted November 26, 2018 So they tell lies!!!! Still- probably a heck load more than standard Imp engine. I can always fit a Ramflo to add on 20bhp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
