Looks great and plans sound good, apart from the Janspeed manifold. Some people have had issues with them so I'd look around for alternatives. The Imp Club forum will be able to advise you on what those alternatives are, or one of the members will no doubt comment on here soon enough

Now a list of planned things:
Paint it Violet. Retro Rides window sticker! ;D Fix heater & the non-working brakelight full service
Mods (in no real order):
New Competition Rotoflex couplings High Efficiency Radiator and new water pump (possibly Electric) Alternator Conversion wire in stereo & cigarette lighter minilite-style wheels change front seats for more supportive ones (suggestions) Monte Carlo springs Janspeen manifold & bike can exhaust 4 front spotlights & one rear one Clear lights conversion Rev counter Front Disc Brakes conversion
But most of all Enjoy! as a Imp is been the last-but-one car of the main list of 'ones i've wanted since childhood ;D
Sooo yeah, a VERY happy girl here!
;D
xXx
You missed the most important mod off so I put it at the top of the list ;D

i'm really not sure on the colour, think am gonna add some of the rally decals i want & see what i think then :-)
Also does anybody know if any mods are needed to fit 13x 7 or 8 superlites?
xXx

I had a Stiletto with Dolomite Sprint seats, didn't seem to be too much involved in fitting them.

I'm not completely useless, I can be used as a bad example.

You'll need some modifications for definate to fit 13x8s on it, 7s are ok on the rear IIRC, you really do need someone with a better memory than me/someone who still has an Imp. I personally always wanted to fit a set of these to my Imp but never managed to make it roadworthy before selling it on. www.comp.co.uk/wheels/popup.asp?wheel=2

Your Imp looks ace, really nice. And the plans for it means it would almost be my cars twin! I vote for it to stay the colour it is, go low and have some nice rims.
RE: Janspeed manifold. I run a 28/36 weber with a Janspeed and cherry bomb on a sport head with r17 and the car is great with that combo. Only thing I would say is that the Janspeed manifolds tend to rust and crack, as mine did. So if you are buying one just keep an eye out for its condition. Mine was only £60 though so I wasn't expecting it to be perfect.
Wheels wise i'm running 13x8 on the rear and 13x6 on the front of mine, no body mods at all to make them fit.

It was the fronts I wasn't too sure on without modification, cheers for helping with that regard David. I really must get down at some point and have a meetup with you guys in Peterborough again.

Nick, thank you! I've spent most of today going through the Imp Clubs forum gallery, and came across this pic:
& have been wondering what wheels they were ;D
Purehillmanimp Thank you for the advice on Janspeed, it's likely to be afew months before i can afford one lol
i think wheel-wise I'll be after 13 x 6 minilites, in graphite :-)
