Yeah, Saloon, Estate and Van Yeah the van windscreen is taller. Can't decipher what you are talking about regarding wings.. All the Anglia wings are the same... The van is the only one to have different doors (the ones you get in and out of). The rear doors are the same as a mk1/mk2 escort van... Yeah and so it don't look even dafter with that big high roof and a small windscreen. Cheers Craig

7500rpm ! That's it ticking over man !

No Gary That's one you made for Dave Whites car. It's in the style of a MASS manifold though, looks nice This is an origional MASS manifold. Don't know if this one is standard or has been modified to go under the car like a normal exhaust. This is the prototype 105speed MASS Stle manifold as fitted to my engine... HTH Craig

Your gonna have to get something made up m8. The mass manifold was designed to exit through the bulkhead into the car.

Jo that "rat car" is really shit... you are disrespecting me and my lifestyle by posting it on a pubic forum....

Not the best thing to say in front of me............. The reason everyone has such low opinions of rat rods is becouse there narrow minded, have only seen cheap shit hot rods that are ment to be rat rods............AND BECOUSE THEY GET THE HOODRIDE SCENE MIXED WITH THE RAT ROD SCENE !!!!!! The bus in the pics above has been on the streets for years, i've got an old issue of volksworld thats got a pic of that bus, when it was a show stopper, mint paint, nice stance and little BRM wheels............ EVEN MAX POWER FEATURED A HOODRIDE VW/can understand that there not unloved pieces of shit !!!!!!!!!! Just to prove my point....... (A slightly pissed off) Jarrod Whooah... take a chill pill Everybody is entitled to their own opinion and everybody has their own taste. Your obviously very passionate about making good cars look like crap, each to their own...

Some american cars and some of the VW's look quite smart done like this (if it's done properly), but the Ghia with its sills hanging off looks like an MOT fail heap, why would you want your car to look like a wreck ? Most of the non american and vw's look really pants IMO Patina... LOL I love it when mags go on about this.. Patina = your paintwork is worn out and your chrome/trim is knackered I mean fair enough if you own a car and it's got like that over the years, you wouldn't make a car look like that on purpose though, would you ?

21 / 22 stone complete

thats assuming they are non RS mk2 struts mate I have no idea, i forgot to mention i fitted mk2 escort van struts.

Having done this on a mk1 donkeys ago... To fit a mk2 rack you also need to fit mk2 struts. To fit mk2 struts you need to fit capri top mounts to the mk2 struts due to the mk1's larger hole in the inner wing. That's all the info that i have but it is 100% fact, not hearsay, pub talk, wee boabs done it etc, i've done this myself. Hope this clears this up a bit ? Craig

Like it apart from the narrow view, try it full width of the screen ?

I didn't think you had to prime a xflow oil pump, what did you do ? Pop a bit of vaselene in it ? Cheers Craig

I had some idiot TELL me that my Anglia was an Escort Oh and the usual "i learned to drive in one of those"... gawd knows how many times...

No power figures, but i had a 1300 one yonks ago in a mk1 escort i had. It was a 711m block fitted with flat top pistons, agra flat head with offset valve guides, kent bcf3 cam, double valve springs, pair of 40's, balanced etc etc. Went like stink. Ate standard RS2000's at the lights, good fun and a stronger, more unbreakable engine IMO than the 16 x-flow.

Yeah it wins the who ate all the pies award for the heaviest engine

We all have our favourites Here is mine Belgom Alu IMO Autosol is rubbish in comparison Some blurb... Belgom Alu has been developed specifically to clean, polish and protect aluminium, copper, brass, nickel and chrome. Where it differs from other metal polishes is that it contains wax, which provides a protective film on the surface of the metal plus a shine that will last for weeks. Unique wax-based formula Cleans, polishes and protects Ideal for aluminium, copper, brass, nickel & chrome Easy to use - rub on, polish off Also great for motorcycles, boats and concourse trophies!

YES !

I painted this one with smoothrite. Turned out nice IMO.

Yes, it also had a Lotus Twin cam in it before it went to Ireland and came back running on a xflow... as far as i can remember. Nice Van though

That's Bunmans cossie powered anglia, it was in Classic Fart mag a while back when Marc Stretton was the editor.

I'm not ready for paint yet m8....

You do all know that these things are illegal don't you ?

Get well soon m8

Anybody any idea how much it would cost to post 4 lotus steels and how much to post a single one ? I've no idea how much they weigh and have no scales to weigh them on either. Anybody bought some recently and paid postage on them ? Cheers Craig
