1969 Thiokol 1404 Imp restoration

I purchased a Imp that a friend spotted sitting in the lot of a local radio station two years ago. Asked them if they were interested in selling it and became it's new owner. It was in pretty rough shape as there was no air in a few of the tires, the tracks were in poor shape. It did start and we were able to get it to move around and on the trailer. The exterior was beat up and the interior had been the home of some small mammals. After storing it behind my shop for two years I finally started the restoration at the end of this summer. I bought new belting and bolts and rebuilt the tracks. Has the seats upholstered, stripped the cab down to bear metal then repainted it. Replaced the wheel bearings, bought new tires, replaced some of the wiring and on and on. Here are a few pictures of it. I should have taken more pictures of it before I started but this is what it looks like now.

that's a nice little rig I like those packages but, little becomes an under statement when you are a big guy like me looking at that little drivers compartment. good job, it looks real sharp likely better than new
