umm, why an anglia?

i guess the better half liked the look of them, and a rusty old one that had been sitting in a paddock for a decade came up on trademe for $250, i ripped out all the anglia bits and sold them to a guy that wrecks early ford stuff down in Oamaru so that stuff will get reused.

The shell needed a fair bit of work to get back on the road, last time on the road was 95 and sat under a tree until we went and got it, everything was seized etc. Car was really only good for a parts car at that stage, and i know worse cars have been brought back to life but usually only if they are super rare or special value.

Least this way the old girl gets a new lease on life, all be it holden powered and racing round a paddock.

and your right, its awesome fun! before we broke the driveshaft(and fixed it with a bit of exhaust that survived the weekend, but that sanother story) it hooked up like nothing else!
