Thank you for this. I have just purchased one in U.K. many shots informative.

My Granddad passed this car down to my Dad and he passed down to me. I'm 41 yrs old😅

Youre on to it Paul set them on the back of the cam hot, it did sound as if it had tappet rattle, the hand crank is ideal for doing this, it should be able to cruise at the UK motorway speed limit just dont get caught,

Thanks, a helpful procedure, but you don't show how to get the handbrake lever out.

Try releasing the cable tie as that can put a slight kink in drive.

Good to see the corvette content improving guy

That’s a mint video, I’m actually the person who owns the avenger!

Your carburettor is minus the heat shield plate beneath it. This appears to have an asbestos style material which soaks up any fuel spillage. Your criticism of the fuel pipe is correct. I have replaced mine with bunny which is clamped to back of engine lift and has soft links to fuel pump and carburettor. Some people use soft hose across front of engine but this brings it within 4mm of fan which is potential disaster. As I understand it the clutch slave is the wrong side of the engine housing. Specialists in USA and Blighty say it should be other side and the slave operates further down the cylinder. When you take off the water pump castings lay them on a flat surface, like a piece of heavy glass, would be a flat windscreen in the old days, and check for truth. Inaccuracies may be rubbed out using carborundum paper or valve grinding past. The big aluminium shell might well move slightly after dismantling. What I am learning is never trust what you see because somebody else has been there before you!

Hi we met today Sunday 2nd and you said you had a ping noise when going in reverse, I said check for loose crown wheel bolts However an other posibility is a universal joint seizing so check that out first Re gards Singer

Old Hillmans are about as exciting as watching paint dry!

At 6.59 you drove past where my estate lived for 25 years a horde of Hillmans were in there

Nice job with the adaptation of bushes that didn't fit. And by hand! I upgraded the shocks on my Superminx back in the 70's. It was very well worth doing, transformed the handling from soggy to really good without ruining comfort.

The originals are worn to hell, this is always a fight I did my last Hillman swaybar with the axle out

I had to replace the worm drive at the gearbox end on my 1963 Superminx Convertible - c 1972 when I did this :-) It was nylon and was sliipping on some worn teeth c65,000ml.. It was easy, just those 2 bolts that hold the flange, and you can remove the drive. The helical drive part was brass, and fine. I suggest you pull the drive out and check for wear.

Auto trail make them same day $60 plus get they are in Hamilton hope that helps

RHD cable 50, 45, or 48 inches long you cut them to length , speedos are easy to get but may not be any better

The oil from the gearbox may be engine rear crank seal weep, quite common (both mine done it). BTW never admit to an oil leak, its just the car marking its territory 😆🤣😆. Keep up the great vid's very cool, love the ole super Minx.

Good haul that lot should keep you busy.

Update on some more parts and and annoying oil leaks. Thanks for watching.

those were metal pipes originally

1500 or 1725

If your having problems with overheating this guys waterless coolant works well in vintage cars.kzbin.info/www/bejne/qneufGOipdp_qLc

Hey I don't think its operating out of the normal range, temp will move around under normal loads and some heatsink when turned off is going to happen with iron heads and block, looks like you have done everything you can at this point.. if it moves into the red I would be concerned. Go buy the gasket goo permatex stuff and sort the leak ..😊

Block doesnt look too bad mine was worse but new vlock was hot tanked and is sparkling clean now, check the ignition timing and carb settings as those being out will make it run hot, new waterpump will help

My home town Napier . Haven’t been there for over 40 years. Great to see the classic car scene is going strong.

My father had 3 of those all new and even picked one up from Todd motors factory in Wellington!

I have oodles of waterpump gaskets, new waterpumps not so much.

Hi everyone, I have had a parts delivery from the UK. Hope you enjoy the unboxing. Thanks for watching.

First thing to check would be the thermostat. Take it out, clean it and the housing, then test it bu heating it up in a pot on the stove to see if it's opening properly when the water is coming to the boil.

Lots of cars for sale on lazy car dealers 250 car barn in Hamilton

When is your next meet Have you lazy car dealer 250 car barn find and Horopito scrap yard smash palace

Lovely car and worth taking care of.

Good to see your take on the same meet I filmed - thanks! 👍

Ive seen your car up close its really tidy just clean up the R/F guard if it bothers you but its only an old panel scar underneath, none of them are perfect, like you I'll be driving mine when its back on the road, I got my last Hillman laser straight it took months it wasnt very good from the factory

I saw your car there its looking good and the only Hillman attending mine is broken Im getting an engine rebuilt for it, lots of used US imports there you wer bin a line of bad bondofil cars that Toranas S has had a frontal sometime in its ast and the filler is bubbling I saw that iece you want to fix its not too bad considering some bog jobs Ive witnessed on old cars, next show is in Dannevirke in two weeks fingers crossed I have my engine back for that one

It could be leaking oil from the timing cover as there is no seal only a slinger li seal timing covers can be got I have another Im not going to be using on my rebuilt engine sing out if you want it

My father had one in the early seventies. He liked it , as a kid I loved it and cleaned it . We went camping , with a small trailer . Great memories

I had a rubber battery tray liner in my other Hillman should have hung on to that, Bonnets are notorious for rusting out along the front, I should be detailing the engine bay on my car while the engine is out

Good to see you resealing that car it looks good inner and out guards meet at the outer li and really hard to repair my one has similar old accident repairs my car was raced at Hawkes bay car club years ago and likely had some offs

Pretty sure most Superminxs were factory undersealed, that is a nice tidy car preserving it is the way to go.

My sister has a v8 swapped super minx

Your roads look to be in very good condition compared to our English ones, I'm slightly jealous.

Gorgeous! 😍😍

Not enough corvette content 😢

Nice to meet you and you car, Ive done a few miles in my wagon yesterday its good to be able to drive it again, I got offered a sedan like yours yesterday runs drives but missing some windows, no good to me.

You need a workshop manual methinks the pivot pin in the door for the 1/4 lights can be tightened up I replaced the rubbers on my 59 Minx and the Superminx is similar, theres a guy in Aussie who moulds all rubbers for Hillmans new, I had some of those xply tyres on spare rims, I gave one to the guy who used to own the grey wagon youve seen, its probably still under it, rims on my estate are steel grey sans trims they dont fit 14 inch rims yours are 13s but I see youve noticed they are bigger diameter thats why your speedo reads slow, some rims were body colour I have my original Superminx rims on my trailer and they have been body colour once upon a time, nice original car. Humber Hillman club of NZ has a spares guy hes in Palmerston North, I was there last weekend bought a new clutch master kit and a new Viva carby from him for the blue HA Viva I suspect youve seen

Just see this. My father had a 65 Super Minx his father imported into NZ from England new. It was white with red interior with the 1600 engine. The floor shift gear lever was straight rather than curved like the NZ ones. It also had only one strip of chrome down the sides. It had the flat back window like this one. Between me and my late father and grandfather we owned 13 Hillman and Humber's ( 10's and 80's). My first car in 1974 was a 61 IIIB Minx and in the late 70's a 70 Hunter. In the later 90's to 2004 I owned a very original unmolested IIIB Humber 80 as a classic. I did not sell that out of choice but did so due to a change in marital status and loss of garage, I didn't want to keep it outside. Great cars and recognised as having a better build quality than it's competitors at the time, in fact it has been said they were "over engineered". . Now subscribed.

The Rootes group made some very innovative cars back in the day, good build quality.

Panel lights only work with the lights on, speedo is steadier, 70mph indicated is 100 true, I have spares of those round instrument nuts, I also have spare speedo drives its not unknown for a tooth to wear out,You need to go to the petrol head cars n coffee at perfume point next month at least two other Superminxs should be there mine and the estate from Clive

Im getting my 66 estate back on the road soon it has no clutch currently yes the hydraulic overhaul you did I'm repeating a new ignition system has it running great but not driving yet
