putting anglia back on the road

[tina2]

I,ve decided to put my Anglia back on the road this year. It,s been stashed away for a couple of years while I finished my Cortina. I,m going to do a few more mods and will be changing the wheels and may add Broadspeed style stripes. It needs a few fixes but I,ll see how I get on.

Broadspeed stripes are good

[tina2]

Got the new engine mounts fitted today, old ones were sagging causing the engine to drop. Freed of the front brakes and fitted the bumper brackets for bumperettes I made years ago . I think I will be refitting the grill as well. Wheels are either going to be compomotive 6x13 or Dunlops. I found a bit more rust in the bottom of the passenger side A post as well . I will sort all the mechanicals first then do the welding then tidy up the bodywork. Plan is to be back on road by end of April.

Pretty much done everything to the Anglia had it running tonight . Some water coming out of waterpump which I knew about and am going to replace , then noticed water coming out at bellhousing, that,ll be the core plug then . Oh well engine out next, buggar

dont take much to pull the engine out of an anglia sure you'll have it done in no time

[tina2]

Shoudnt take to long hate it when unexpected work comes up. It,ll give me a chance to clean up the engine bay so it,s not all bad.

Well, thats the waterpump and core plugs done, started at 12 o clock engine out and back in running at 3.30 . Got the paint stripped of the alloys , next job is to paint bottom of doors and get the Broadspeed stripes done. Nearly there.

Just did the Broadspeed stripes on the Anglia today. Looks realy good , now I just need to finish polishing the alloys although Im starting to think about putting the Dunlop alloys on instead of the Compomotives.
