How long does a Hillman Imp restoration take
This 1967 Hillman Imp Californian has just been restored, a period of over two years was taken.
The car is thought to have been parked outside in the elements for a period of four years, South Africa has a very harsh climate for such treatment.
The interior was trashed by the UV from the African sun.
The Sport specification engine was all there but the car had been rammed from behind, many parts were smashed, that included the two forward transaxle mounts which we found had been welded back on to the transaxle casing.
The car when it was in the early stages of re construction and about two and a half years ago.

British Seagull outboard restoration
This motor should have been out of here some months back but the replacement petrol tank from the UK has yet to arrive, we have a postal strike in South Africa, I assume that is the problem?
To have the motor ready for the customer I removed a tank of a spare motor, only to find and after I resprayed it that the fuel exit is on the opposite side of the tank, which means I have fitted the tank back to front.

Check the pin next to the flywheel, that is one of the two grounding pins on the back of the tank for allowing you to rest the motor on hard ground.
Not the worst problem I suppose?
