Any Anglia cars or projects out there?

My project is underway, up on fab table and ready to start frame work. Hope to make some headway this winter.

 

Is that at your new house ?

 

Not yet, old shop! Got the doors @ the new place opening and shuting, need to brick and start interior finish out.

 

Cool ! I need to stop by .

 

Good luck. I have a '57 Anglia 100E, which is basically the 2-dr "trunk" version of the Thames. I've been looking for a glass front end since I don't have any fender/hood/grille.

Fiberglass Trends in So Cal used to make them, but they went belly up. If we could only track down those damn molds! You can get glass pieces imported from UK from www.smithanddeakin.co.uk and www.oldfordautos.co.uk but I don't think anyone over there makes a 1-piece nose section. If I had stock steel sheetmetal I would make a mold for 1-piece front ends.

Also, across the pond the hood is called a "bonnet", the fenders are called "wings" and the grille surround is called the "front panel". It took me a while to figure out why a search for "fender" or "hood" didn't render anything on the UK sites.

Also try www.ford100E.com for info

 

Finally got it to the track. Now got to dial her in............

 

Bitchin'

 

Mine

 

Here's mine.
Anybody recognize it? I've had it 2 1/2 years, the guy I got it from had it 8 years. he bought it with a blown up blower motor in it from Silver Spring Md. around 1997-98, I have no history past that. Boxed Anglia frame, Olds rear, box swisscheesed ladder bars with coilovers. Had a straight axle but the previous owner installed a fat man fmustang II. Anyway, I put the new blower motor in, wheels/tires and little nitnoid things I didn't like I fixed.
Any history appreciated.
also looking for what I think was a 28-30 ford sedan raced in the late 60's early 70's, bright yellow with the Chiquita Banana insignia in the doors.
That was around Arlington Va. 60's-70's
I think C/G with an injected small block chevrolet.
Thanks.
