1962 Valiant Signet 200
Saw your latest youtube, great job on this one, I would have done exactly the same upgrades, effective but appearance enhancing and inexpensive. Currently looking for a '60-'62 to be a collector car (I'm new to this hobby so thought I would start small and relatively inexpensive with an early Valiant "road toad" similar to the first car I owned, a '62 V200 sedan, white with all-vinyl blue interior). I know you like to just get them functional and looking as good as possible without significant expense, but have you considered repairing the body rust? That's my biggest concern on these rusters, how to deal with it with no training in paint/body work. Also curious how much better a Signet values over the regular V100 and V200 models, from what I have seen Valiants tend to go relatively cheap. Your car would be a real head-turner at Carlisle, just watched 2023 video and there was only one pre-'63 Valiant, an original blue '61 V200 4-dr with blue, black and silver interior, they used it's picture for the video thumbnail. There were dozens of later model A-bodies, literally everywhere you looked on some aisles.
