I have fallen in love with these imps and I'm 17 and would love one to pop around in and take care of aha I'm sad I know but these sort of cars need a lot of loving care in my mind :)
a very nice job indeed ,also i noticed a lot of positive camber on the front ,i am guessing this may of had something to do with the fact that they had very bad understeer in the wet ,anyway good luck with it :)
@spinlessbastard1 You arent wrong there, pre 1967 hillman imps had slight positive camber and a pretty bad under steering issue, also being rear engine meant that any over steer achieved was extremely difficult to correct. But in post 1967 imps they installed an anti-roll bar which fixed the camber issue and made the cars handling improve immensely. My father actually fitted one of his other imps with a torana front assembly.. worked well also had disk brakes.. thanks you for your comments mate
It won't let me post links. Go to the Seattle and Portland Craigslists and do a search on sunbeam Imp

An impressive amount of work, and I guess love, is put in this car.
