New Project Found At Rubbish Dump

Couldn't believe my eyes when I found this 48 Anglia amongst the recycling steel at our local rubbish transfer station. Our town has a population of just 3800 so it was a shock to see it there.

Well it is now ours - we saved it from the recycler. Plans are for a Community drag/dirt/skid car - Gasser style. Not going to make it street legal or try to break any speed records, and will use parts lying around as we have no budget.

Good Save

 

Daymn!

 

dang... why would someone throw that away? and look at all that tin! too bad.. i need a bunch of that for my garage...

 

Wow That is awsome. Looks extremely solid and someone's already filled the roof.

 

damn, hella cool,

 

WOW, thats in nice shape too........what were they thinking throwin that away

 

maybe they got tired of looking for doors and a deck lid(boot?)? j/k, that is a helluv a find!

 

Looks like someone gave up on their hot rod project.
High stop brake light hole, welded in steel floor and holes for modern tail lights, that aint no stocker.

 

maybe it was stolen?

 

The dump manager said a local is building a Hot Rod version and brought a better body, so dumped this one....

 

And it came with a complete trunk/boot lid!

 

In fresh primer yet. If this weren't the HAMB, I'd call bullshit.
Here's a few guesses;

A) Some guy passed away and the family needed room in their garage, so off to the scrap pile went the old body shell.

B) Some guy REALLY pissed off his Wife/Girlfriend and she fixed his ass good.

C) A house was forclosed on or someone skipped out on the rent and left it behind.

With a town of 3800, you should be looking for the doors, front clip, etc. still stashed away in a shed/garage.

 

nice score! you gotta love it when you go to the dump to drop some stuff off and come home with more than you left with!

 

Interesting that someone would throw that away!

 

LUCKY DOG!!!!Good luck keep us posted!!!!!R~R

 

This answer's why it was there! Nice find,
Hope you start a build thread on this "no budget build"

OB

 

No hot rodder would throw this away now days

 

Those damn street rodders

 

i've rescued soooo many cool things from the scrap metal yard in texAss. now that i'm in florida, i need to start looking again. maybe even more treasure here....

 

Damn what a score!!!!!

 

That was one dumbass local,if that story is true....Not that I doubt the story,but damn....

 

that's more solid than my daily driver.

 

This is a true story! I'm heading to the USA in May so will be on the hunt for a Olds/Pontiac/Cadillac engine and gearbox for it - don't really want a SBC. Will also be looking for a narrowed rear end and tube front axle.

 

Well how cool is that just goes to show that one man's junk is another man's treasure.

I may start out with no budget and low power but have budget and power in mind throughout the build for the day that there is a budget and going faster is a concern.

Anyway very cool.

 

man thats the find of a life time.

 

Now a 34 3 window would have been the find of a life time.... but I'm not complaining!!!

 

it happens. i used to be a potter, you know, coffee cups, ash trays.. anyhoo.. a bud whos dad did home renovations called me and told me they were guttin a house and there was some junk he thought id like. got there and it was an electric potters wheel worth about 2k.. all i cost me was the hernia i got loadin in my truck..

 

All the work is done! Wtf!? Good save! Im in shock!!!

 

x2..
