So, it should be in my drive within the next couple of weeks. I just need to get the loan secured. With the loan in mind.. and yes after actually seeing one in person.. the wheel base is way short. It's just going to be a weekend around town and tinker toy.
This particular Imp is basically good to go.. The biggest issue is that, for some reason the clutch isn't disengaging..
The paint is beautiful, the suspension is all done, has mini lite knock offs, basically rust free (and there's no carpet in it, so that's the truth), has a front rad conversion yadda yadda..
Basically it's exactly what I'm looking for.. something that doesn't need any body work, WILL FIT NICE IN MY GARAGE!, just tinker this and tinker that, and hopefully will reintroduce some fun back into things.
I'm going to have to figure out this whole positive ground thing (those brits)?!
I can't wait to mount up 4 massive Marchal lights and go have some fun.
I was seriously thinking about a rear engined Simca, slightly longer wheelbase, like the looks as well.. but the Imp won out on the virtue that most people into them speak English and there was a pretty cherry one just down the road.
Pics to follow!
