1964 Ford Anglia Super - PAINTED

[maximusprime]

Hi all

I bought the car back in aug 07 wen it looked like this



I then done a bit of the welding and got the engine completely done. its the origial 1200 precrossflow for now but hopefully soon ill have a 1500GT in it

the body work and welding -























it had rotted out in all of the normal places, I e on the wings, headlamps and door hinges, rear wells, rear panels etc.

bout a Minnow Fish carb to go with the 1200 engine, origianlly for VW beetles and minis. apparently its the rearer bigger bore version



bought Milton race prep suspension kit

mk2 cortina adjustable shocks




100% of the welding now done, and all body work done, and its currently bein sprayed.

then I just need to bolt it back together ;D







work on it slowed down, because I'm at uni and don't get to go home much to work on it. but the loans payed for it ;D

unrealistic deadline is wheels day but failing that I'm aimin for Classic ford show.

cheers Wil.

Yeah i saw that, was realy nice, I'm liking the older/ original engines, that are tuned or even just slightly tuned. I think he had a 1300 or a 1340 precrossflow in it did he not?

Looking damned good there Wil.

Anglias look too good in Ermine White. Picking up my first car on Sunday which we be a 1964 Anglia Deluxe. It will be sprayed in Ermine White and slammed on some 7X13 revolutions (on 175/50s). This is certainly a bit of inspiration. Will be keeping a close watch on this one What are the other plans for it then?

[luckygti]

Looks lovely. Is it ermine white or old English white? My eyesights going I think. Gonna be a beaut when its finished I reckon. Wheels?

[maximusprime]

Yeh its ermine white, for ages ive been thinking hard about weather to put the chrome trim on, but i prefer the super trim so ive decided its going back on ;D now its painted i cant change my mind lol

look forward to seeing some pics of the deluxe

as for other plans, I'm keeping the 1200 pre crossflow for this sumer to get to as many shows as possible, then ill be building a 1600 or 1700 precrossflow over winter do put in ;D ;D wen i have the money and my new house and garage

as for wheels for the front i have 2 standard 5.5 lotus steels, and for the rear to genuine 6.5 lotus steels. see below



here is one front wheel and one rear




they are being painted the same colour as the car as we speak

and as you said Ray its going to be as low as i can possibly get it, with the lush coil overs i have ;D

Cheers for the comments yall

Wil.
