Impster - the big&white

...and these after today´s session in the garage. The fan shroud was left uninstalled because we thought that the lower radiator hose has to be replaced. There`s no any big, but little things to do while not cruising around.
Today I got only the lower radiator hose, all others have to be ordered from other vendors. I have yet to meet a seller, who believes that a 73 Imperial really has 5x5 bolt pattern after saying it once...
Tomorrow is free, so we´ll go to the garage. There´s nothing better to do when it´s the 101th Independence Day of Finland.

Today the rear quarters got some paint, we installed the fan shroud (only almost, no correct nuts were found), changed the lower radiator hose. I took the backup lamp assembly just to see, if there a reason for melting of the right lower corner. Here´s also the brake master cylinder and booster in one pic.
I just cleaned the lens and it seems highly likely that I´ll treat it with resin and fiberglass. I also took the bulb bracket apart to replace the license plate lamp, remove the rust and to paint it to prevent corrosion in the future. Tomorrow will be spent at a model car show in Lahti, so the next update will come on Sunday.

Interesting, but those were the days when you ordered a body color, vinyl roof color, and interior color (seats, carpet, dash and headliner) how you wanted, compared to today's blandmobiles.Thanks! My mom just can´t get over that the interior is green.
I was out today running and warming up the storage twins. Not sure if you need those engine shots anymore. I took them and I could post them on my McGoldy or Lil Red thread. Let me know.
They´d be appreciated, because I have to buy and install an original-like overflow bottle.
Today the front stub frame and battery tray got same new black paint, I took the aftermarket radio off and replaced it with plastic from one´s of our garage friends stash. My dad put filler to the rear quarter panels, because the recessions aren´t so deep that they´d need welding and we checked the wheels, of which the worst has only a bit of rust and scratches. Later we´ll see which ones I´m buying, but either wheel covers from a 69 Imperial or OG wire wheels. Of course they will be mounted with a new set of WSW tires.
Impster may have the original power trunk release, but I´m not sure, if someone has taken off all other components than the button and a couple of wires.

What's your plan with the original wheel covers if I understand you are swapping them for a set of '69 era wheel covers?
Maybe I hang them as wall art. But if you´d like to get them and we can figure out a good price, I could sell them. Impster will not change its owner and especially one wheel covers is dented, so it´s not a minus to not have them.
