I'm thinking of an Anglia for my first car, hopefully will get one this year. Will do all the work with my dad. Nothing to fancy, just new paint job (maybe spruce green with white stripe) and general freshen up, lowered on lotus steels and possibly checkered roof with big black or dark green squares. Standard 997cc engine to get going with. Then it's just a case of a few modern touches, Halogen headlights etc. Red rear indicator lenses, clear fronts, race harnesses, hidden stereo in glove box and 6 by 9s hidden in the rear interior panels, Ford KA alternator, then just a case of getting it running nicely for every day use. Will go from there I suppose. MK1 Fiesta sounds a good choice too mate! Good luck with it
