After nearly three years and just about everything done once was done again, the Hillman made its way out of the garage under its own steam! Unfortunately, the windshield wipers were stuck in the ON position. Then after dropping one of the brushes not once, twice, or three times.. on the fourth it was lost! New set purchased.. and we wait again.
We call the car Eileen, because she does.. slightly lower on the driver’s side.. no matter the new springs (front and back), new shocks (also front and back) and various shims.
However, it now sports a 1725 Alpine Series V engine with overdrive transmission, a fancy new custom exhaust system, and battery in the boot to name just a few upgrades.
