Relay blew on the rad fan so have temporarily wired the fan to work whenever the engine runs until I fit a new relay. Wired up a switch for the reversing lamp (60's style rear facing foglamp mounted on engine cover). Replaced interior light bulb with a strip of 5 LEDs - will see how it looks later. [glow=red,2,300] EDIT: Interior light now much better with the LEDs[/glow]

Nice Imp - looks wicked. Can't help thinking that company had a result only having to paint an Imp for free!! No Chevrolet Impala entries won then??

The annoying thing was I didn't bother entering as the mag' had just started an Imp resto' so I thought there'd be no way they'd let an Imp win.
My nipples are now replete with grease, the fan relay has been replaced and I've turned down the heat on the GAZ dampers a bit as the ride was a bit harsh.

Good to see the whole fleet is still with ya Baz, although I see the Previa's still listed among your cars, I thought you were going to get rid of that ages ago. ;D I'm glad you've finally got a house now, just remember, grass must go as it's in the way of perfectly good project car storage.

It's that stuff that you take the lad down The Park to play on, lol. It has no place being on front or behind people's houses. It may be soft to lay on in the summer when working under the car/s, but in the winter it turns into a recreation of the somme as soon as you try and wean a little extra space on it for the latest purchase. (Says he who doesn't have a single car to park atm.)

Oh, that stuff! Went up to Coventry today to meet up with the Commer Van Fan club. Never seen as many Commers in one place, nice bunch of people and some lovely Commers. Also managed to sqeeze 96mph out of LNK according to the satnav (on a private test track of course).

Some tw*t smashed one of LNK's front lights the other week when parked out front of the new house. Now added to the car collection in the back garden awaiting the fitting of the new light unit.

Haven't been on here too much recently, cheers Dave - see you on the Impside mate!
Decided to leave LNK out back until the salt leaves the road, he's rusty enough as it is at the moment. Same for Peggy the Commer. Concentrating on earning/saving cash to pay for a garage.

Cheers Dave!
After the Imp Club 30th birthday run the other week (Watford - Coventry - Swindon - Watford in sub-zero temps) the gearbox appears to be on it's last legs so LNK is off the road over Christmas/New Year until I can replace it, and the linkage while I'm at it. With all this salt on the roads that's no bad thing really.

Quick update:
New gearbox and linkage fitted and the Imp is running nicely now. Just need to give him a good check over, fluids etc and try to clean off some of the oil staining followed by a polish (it seems you can polish a turd!) all ready for the Summer Imp events.

Performed well over the summer and autumn. November was MOT time and it failed on the steering rack and a fuel leak (carb). Sorry to say that other commitments and weather have combined to prevent getting these things sorted. Daily MOT is due shortly then it'll be time to sort the Imp ready for a weekend in Wales end of April and another in the Netherlands end of May.
