hai gais

Story is Dad was talking to this old guy and said somthing about selling his mums house and car, Dad perked up his ears and asked him about it, turned out to be a 1973 Hillman hunter that his mum owned from near new.
went around and had a look a week ago was in good nik then came back a week later to pick it up.
On we went home and the bloody thing overheated. Twice.
Took us an hour and a half to get home when it usually takes 15mins at most from where we got it from.
so yee dad and i picked up some radiator s**t yesterday and him and the neighbour spent today flushing it and stuff.
When taking the thermostat gasket thing ma jiggy the screw broke.
lucky next door neighbour is into Hillman and has a s**tload of spear parts laying around
We bolted it all up again then it started leaking thru the crappy cardboard gasket thingy we made lelelelel
so we un bolted it again then hooned off to repco in the blue bessie to get a
new gasket because the old one was squished to s**t.
thats what happened today, more funs going to happen tomorrow lelelelelel
Heres Billy and all his 40 yr old glory:

^not enough balls to hit the next summernats in it

[Noodles]

u wot m8

i dont think dad would like me skidding this everywhere i go though

[Noodles]

So today we sanded the thermostat majiggys so that there would be no gunk and the gasket sits flat on it. We fitted it all up, put some gasket concrete stuff in between the gasket and the thingy majoos so it wouldnt leak.

Chrysler? Hillman was part of the Rootes group, a british company. As well as Hillman, they had Singer, Talbot, Sunbeam, Commer and Humber. I always wanted a Hillman Imp/Singer Chamois. Ace little competitor to the mini

Edit nvm, they were badge engineered under a crapload of other marques as well. Fun fact, most of them were assembled a few miles from where I live

[Noodles]

This one was assemble and hour and half away from me
