[mancimp89]

1968 singer chammy for your viewing, what you all think?

this is what it looked like the other week on hardknott pass,


and this is what it looks like now,

[dollywobbler]

That's looking quite evil - and cool. Love the fat rear rubber.

[GJM]

The original car would have looked sweet simply slammed, but each to their own

[ChasR]

I think it looks great now, but personally, I would have left the panels the same colour, but it's your car buddy and we're not all the same .

[Fennec]

I like it!

[mancimp89]

I decided at 10 in the morning I was going to paint it, and it was done for 10 at night. was originally metalic and I went for the easiest option ie solid colour as I was going for a full repaint highspeed world record. lol.

12hrs including going picking and buying a colour, stripping and prep of the car, and then spraying, like you do. day off very bored you see.

got a set of banded steels for the front aswell but cant descide wether to fit them.

the original paint was quite patchwork but looked good from a distance.

[alolympic]

Looks good but blimey, check those tyre pressures, the rear looks well low!

[mancimp89]

topped up the tyres after the pics, that why i was at the station ;D

[bootsy75hst]

that is one good looking imp.

[gurnersimps1963]

Great looking chammy,any more plans for it?

[mancimp89]

was going to put a set of avo shocks and lower springs on, and get a fiberglass bonnet and engine lids, depends as ive got my eye on another car atm.

wouldnt mind a k-series conversion, but waiting to seeing how my mates goes first, then i'll decide.

got any suggestions for more mods?, got a downsized black and silver plate for the front other than that don't really know.

[bootsy75hst]

i'd leave it looking as it is and concentrate on engine mods or transplant

[gurnersimps1963]

AVO'S work well on the back then some monte carlo springs all round,change the gearbox ball (under the gearstick) cheap as chips and really tightens gear change feel,let me know how you get on with the k series swap

[sonicboom]

that chammy is certainly 'imp'ressive ! gonna have to sort my cali out now

[mancimp89]

calis are sweet used to own one, great shape better than saloons, mine was a bit of a shed lol.

[mancimp89]

On a recent trip to france and back 1350miles, and only a few very minor issues but nothing to write home about.
heres a couple of pics. what ya think?

[bootsy75hst]

still looking sweet

[mancimp89]

what do you all think? taking a bit of a different direction with the look,

[PhoenixCapri]

You know what I really like that ;D

white walls really suit the 'look' as do the yellow fogs. I'd be tempted to say its just about spot on now, think the changes and bumpers make it look finished

[bazzateer]

Looks like Lightening McQueen after his respray! Which is a good thing
