kritta Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 hi Guys, been a while since i`ve been on this website, so thought i should give an update. august 2010, i bought a 1965 2onr 29000 mile orig sedan...cirrus white, green interior, 997cc. Purchased off a chap who bought it to turn into targa car, but couldn`t bring himself to do it...Way too good to chop up, so into storage it went for 15 years. He had to sell it to fund another targa car so i bought it, and well i couldn`t bring myself to chop it up either, so back in storage for a couple of years....we call him scooty, and he goes out for warrants and car shows, not too much more than that really. Soooooo, december 2010, i bought another one, this one was getting the treatment for sure...another low mileage vehicle, had been blasted, panelled and painted....Ermine White, what else could i do, but build my interpretation of a lotus anglia..so off we went, fortunately i have a great mate who deals with american muscle cars, so off to his place we went, and into it....200hp 4age (yet to be dynoed)40 dellortos, huge cams, k50, mondeo hydraulic release bearing, gilmer drive,reverse pedal box, mk2 struts, capri discs, milton steering arms, milton swaybar blocks, milton strut brace, 100e van 1/4 bumpers, lotus steels, lotus badges all round, low back buckets, looks like the real thing....just wish it had the lotus engine, but at 30k,(recently advertised 180hp lotus engine) not possible....i was bulding him for the brits at beach show, but setting up the release bearing turned into a mare, so he never got there, however, i will be taking him to all ford day in march. I will try to upload photos, but really struggle to do this..i do need door cards,and boot latch if anyone has some spares.... (kcoley@ideal.co.nz) and will get carpet done soon.....many many thanks to Russ @ american car maintenance enhancement for his engineering skills, and also Hooksie @ subway automotive for his engine and gearbox building skills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDA780 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Mint AngleBox man. Very high build quality. Will be good to see in the flesh at All Ford Day this year. Whats the width on your steels? 5.5inch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felixx Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 Also what size tyres. I have some widened steel rims getting powdercoated right now. They had 175/60 R13s on them. They have a lot smaller diametre than my 165/70s on it now. Scared i will rev its tits off at speed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kritta Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 hi guys, just to answer some questions, this is running 175/60/13`s on 5.5 rims, not sure what your combination is felix, but with k50 and 4.1 gears in 5th @ 120km, 3000rpm...when the quaife goes in i`m going to try 3.9 diff gears, but at present, runs well, not screaming, but i`m still easing him into it...dyno in another week or so, just clocked up 600km`s.
