Hi Paul wavey

Welcome to PH!

Your Imp looks great, how long have you been working on it? What sort of performance are you looking to get out the engine?

Wow, impressive figures, are you going to track it or keep it road legal? I bet it's an awesome drive.

I've always loved Imps, I'd quite like an Imp to play with, they are perfect little cars.

You'll have to post some piccies up here when yours is finished. smile

Great stuff !! thumbup Keep thinking about getting a zooped up Imp !! Would like a fastback version (stilleto ??) with a neat little lump in it. Saw a picture on this site of a guy who built one with a mid mounted RS Turbo in it, big vented brakes all round, built in flared archres, minilites, looked the absolute bogs b*llox !! Sent an email about it but never heard anymore frown

this one?

a guy i know built it, its a monster, but very well put together with a lot of thinking.

he uses it a fair bit as well.

this picture makes it look a little odd, it looks best from the front
