Eventful Weekend!!

[Kieran]

Left our house at 7.40 to travel to all the way to Denbeigh in North Wales to pick up the my new car which is an ex-Heartbeat Anglia which we won on ebay, due to the Baz105e's old one having to much work to do on it and it will work out alot of money just for the panels alone, but we will be using some of the panels of it to make a good one out of the two!This Anglia was stored in a museum which was the victim of an arson attack back in December, The shell is really solid and is basically rot free but theres a dent in the roof from where a block of wood fell on it when the museum was on fire and a dent in the passenger side rear quarter where it was damaged on set but this can be easily fixed , The car is sprayed in red oxide primer and ill post some pics up in the project room when the work starts. Then last night we camped over in Stratford Racecourse for the Mk1 Cortina Show(Pics will be up soon)

 

Below are some pics i found on the web of what the Anglia was like before the fire
