So thats where the journey started , Mr M A in darkest Somerset had recovered the car from former customer I believe there was another Imp which his brother Mr GA. Malc had got the car running , albeit from a fuel can , so the basic car was solid but unfortunately covered in marks I guess from condensation dripping onto it from the garage roof.

So this one came first and now resides in Michigan USA and runs with the number plate IMP 76 anyone who has seen the TV programme Mobsteel based in Detroit may recognise the site of the last picture.

Did not see the TV prog but remember the car getting shipped off. Great colour

Really should get back to this car, since losing my job last year progress has halted , but mojo returning , currently renovating Dad's house but hopefully soon be back to this .

Been watching the building work on the garage and your dads place, the drainage was a pig by looks of it.

Not the weather for the garage but at least there is heating in yours

I did say to Pat about adding some radiators in his garage as thats where his boiler is PMCG

I was just going to drop a type 22 onto his return 22mm to the boiler as any heat better than no heat and I guessed same energy to get back to temp for the central heating, but seeing as you are here may as well ask an expert f thats best way to go

Plumbers over at the Merc. forum said fit an electric heater.
Electricians said give it a go.

The ones that did say to give it a go said use the Feed and Return as normal and put some shut off valves and use microbore to the new radiator.
Any problems it can just be switched off.
