As soon as I saw that engine choice I knew you would be a kiwi...sweet! I just love Estate cars me, nice job! I wish I had met more oldskool folks when I lived in NZ, I miss the old place! By the way, you know anyone that has a Mk2 with Cosworth Engine fitted at all?? I own the rego MK2COS still in my collection. I was keeping onto it in case I ever make it back with my Mk2, but that may be apipe dream... Cheers Dave...

Cheers folks, when I was home last I talked myself out of selling. So staying put for now at least. This one is pretty much done now to be honest. I little bit more work inside to sort out, like carpet the roof! But its just about there. Well, I still need a slipper, oops! Got my second Anglia back home now and rolling on its own wheels at long last. No steering colum, but it rolls all the same. Need to work on the spaceframe some more then put a floor in it, also weld the arches on, then work out how to fit the exhausts, wire it all up, plumb the engine in, fit a pedal box, err... basically its years off being finished! Just enjoy the red one as a rolling resto now. Its a right laugh. I will post a video up later of it on the rollers, runs a sweet 240 bhp on standard injectors and turbo. Thats more than enough! Cheers...

Head gasket is doing just fine mate.. Turned out to just be the radiator in the end, but at least I know there is a new gasket in there for good measure. The car has only done 50K since new, but its still good to know. Cheers all...

Nice that fella. I reckon I will have to have one of them one day. Very nice.

Yes, I had to raise the rear slightly for the 15" rims to clear. But it sits quite nice where it just now. I think the Mk1 Escort front arches look real nice on the back of an Anglia. Not many folks notice, just Anglia folks really. Cheers...

M6 in North Cumbria, the car was boiling itself over atthe time. Peskie blocked rad... Cheers by the way!

Yes mate they are.

Extra points for arm out the window!

Dont be shy... At least you get some nice back drops??

Did I already post these up in here before? Oh well, for those that have not seen em... I was going to sell this car, somebody stop me!! Cheers dave...

So many pictures of cars sat in garages, on drives and in fields. How about a few rolling shots with some cheesy grins thrown in for good measure??? Let me start the ball rolling... CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESE!

ah ha... dont forget about me... Dont you just love Escorts!!

and one with Poo Brown sneaking in on the action... Bless em!!

Got it looking how I like em now... Sweet!!

Ahh, thats you disguised as a fish is it? Just sent you an email to your personal address matey. I can taste a looming beer on the horizon!! Cheers...

Hey Gareth, You fell out with me or something fella?? Check yer email. I am back away agin just now but home mid October. Catcha Dave...

Hello mate, I thought you would approve! Its not mad power the Angle box, its dangerous enough as it is to be honest! Had a live mapping session the week prior and set up with some new bits from Stu in Blackpool. So it was running pretty sweet on the day and made just over 240 brake. Not too bad for a standard motor I thought. It flies and is a right laugh!! Cheers...

Here is a bit of a laugh, my Anglia giving it big licks at a rolling road session three weeks back... Get in !! Cheers Dave...

Bring TOM along just in case!!

Cheers chap!! It took many years and deep pockets to get my mk1 as it is today, also still not finished!!

Cheers agin folks. Also yes it was at Pauls for a good few months as he sorted the wiring and conecting up of all the hoses and tubes etc... Loom made up by Ryan but fitted by Paul and pals. Cheers

Cheers all. Hopefully the Mk2 will be all done by May so it will be on the Lakes Tour, err Pub Tour next time round. WIll try not to stop at so many establishments next time round tho... DOH!! CheeRS

Nice one BIg Fella Hope ya well mate Now then fella! Its been a while, you were always busy when I rang, made me all sad... Lets catch up in the new year eh?? Will be good to see you again! Cheers Dave...

Cheers. Only problem now is that I judge every car based on my engine bay? I do like a tidy engine I am affraid. I will add pics as I progress further over the winter.

Count me in for that then. Hopefully have the Mk2 on the raod by then...yeah right!
