Hillman Imp Californian coupe rear side window rubbers


The car is a rare 1967 Imp Californian.

The rear side window rubbers  arrived from our suppliers today and are perfect fit.


This is the retro type and will not accept the original Rootes Car Co, painted metal insert which covered most of the rubber.



The supplier tells me these are the last pair he had and has no plans to make anymore.

They should last another fifty years I guess?

There is no glass fitted at this stage as we need the re trimming  job finishing inside the car first.

Hillman Imp Deluxe rear suspension fitting



The rear springs require compressing before we can connect  the shock absorbers.


This car is now sold, the process will still take some months but we are well on the way to the next stage and turning the car back the right way up.


The pictures will enlarge if you click on them.

The engine bay has been re painted to its original paint shade and before it was sprayed with a black tar covering, I think it looks a lot nicer now?
