The longest-term Project

Well, here it is…

My pride and joy, a 1960 Humber Hawk, (Series 1a). With the original 2.3 litre 4‐banger under the hood, 4 speed manual column change. (Though I do have a Rover V8 and BW autobox to go in when the time comes.)

I’ve had it for hhhmmmmrfgh hhhmrrmgh years now (yeah – you heard that correctly!) working on it as and when I get the time (which really isn’t that often).

The plan is to go for mild kustom; subtly lowered, shaved handles & badges, and some Watson‐style scallops. But that’s all got to wait until after the considerable rust‐repair work, which I’m most of the way through, I’m happy to report.

I’ve got a build thread over on the HAMB, mainly so I can track my progress — but I’ve received a lot of encouraging comments as a result, and that has helped keep my ‘mojo’ going in the long, cold winter months…
