awesome! mroe of what i like to see! all the best. you can get a lot of info on what to do with classics here. we have classic kings lIke MD and GTAm who really know what they're doing.

one thing, however, you're gonna run out of web space to post photos on the autolanka domain allocated space. try using a third party image host website. like www.imageshack.us. create and account there, and then post the link they give to your uploaded photo on the "photo" option when you post.

because we want to see lots and lots of pictures!

Welcome to AutoLanka Tharinduj.

Haven't seen many Hilman Hunters around except maybe one car I see daily on my way to work. Anyway, this is another great restoration thread to follow... Share more details about the car, the history and the plans you've got for her. Best of luck mate!
