What do you do with an Anglia??

Gotta be a g***er/altered. Candy apple red with yellow fading into orange flames, chrome straight axle w/coil overs, polished Halibrands and a chrome three-inch tube rear bumper. Leave the fenders on for the g***er look or fenderless for the altered look.

g***er all the way!!! injected hemi and all!

 

Sorry
In my excitement I read the Thread ***le wrong

 

build it to drive, if you put any tires other than stock you'll have to tub -it and the engine bay is small so the fire wall has to be moved back to install any other motor. I would go with ten inch rear tires stock frt axle with disc brakes split wishbone to keep it low use small tires and wheel in the 23" 24" range. Lots of work enjoy.

 

I saw one for sale this morning for $9K less engine. Cool cars. G***er!

 

Refer to post #8 and go a tad narrower on the rear wheel/tire combo. Oh, and most important..........................license plates.

AGREED! Definitely a G***ER!!! All the way!!

 

Thanks for all the ideas... I like the idea of a hot four cylinder, low and handles like a go cart , but those old style g***ers are hard to get out of your head.
It's going to be interesting to see what the "hot rod" gods have in mind for this one...

nah, it was old after the show aired the first time!

 

Don't do what I did. Fatman front suspension, Chris Alston 4 link rear suspension, Currie 9", new 355 sbc. Don't drive it. Just park it in the back garage for 5 years.

 

holy **** man! you need a roomate??????? you have some great **** stuffed in there!

 

here at G & M Motorsports we built the Quarter Pounder g***er and no way to drive it on the streets.but it does have wipers,t.sig,brake lights etc.but about 3 yrs.ago i seen one at good guys from OK.it had a v6,auto and was streetable and a real nice car.it's up to you but you dont see them on the streets and it would be less expensive

 

Been a few built downunder as 'mini' hotrods with basically stock sheet metal, 1600cc- 2 litre 4 bangers, Pinto OHC, 4AGE etc, 5 speeds, discs on stock front axles or independent front ends out of small cars and rear ends out of things like Ford ******s. There are some 4 banger diffs that will fit under the guards and handle a hot 4 cyl engine. Because the Anglia is so light it'll go like a scalded cat with a decent 4 banger in it.

Cheers, Glen.

 

Build it as YOU want it.You can never please everybodyI must say G***er.I run a 454,narrowed Olds 4:56 gears I will sell mine someday,but it will be high for what it is.Ive owned it for 31 years,dont even mess with much anymore.Ive seen em built all kids of ways,G***er is my Favorite.

 

The stupid idiots on "Monster Garage" tried to build a g***er out of one... this group of "NOTED" hot rod builders were unable to work together, got the car 90% finished but couldn't get the blown small block crate motor to fire by the deadline so the project was called a failure.
Jesse James then hauled the g***er to a wrecking yard where a 4 ton block was dropped on it from a crane, the block hit the back of the blower as it came down braking it off and flipping it forward onto the ground and of course the new 700 R4 was crushed as well as everything else... what a waste...

 

Dirt car ! Not really. G***er the only way !

 

The only way to fly ...

 

G***ER! If it wasn't for Anglias being g***ers, no one would care about them.
Its your car though.

 

A great handling street machine build would be cool. Unless you're planning to drag race it, why go g***er style?

 

Its an Anglia. It must have horsepower. Gobs of horsepower. The rest is up to you.

 

about 11 years ago my friends dad brought home a 48 anglia g***er and we were like what the **** is that and he said give it a few years you'll appreciate it,it had original halibrands, fibergl*** front...well he p***ed away and the car went to his brother in law in florida and he's rebuilding it for my friend..wish like hell i had that car now.......also knew another guy that had a 48 that was solid as hell and mean as ****, he was scared of the car, it always wanted to get sideways and go in a ditch.....he sold it

 

You could be different & turn it into a little compe***ion coupe like mine

 

Sounds like you need help driving ur cars! I live pretty close so I will volentier! Nice lookin stable of toys you got there!

 

Got to go with the g***er....

 

Big mill and push the pedal on the right

 

i remember having a conversation with dave mccauley back in 01 about using a toyota 4 banger and a 5 speed in a anglia , you could have some fun at the import day at the drag strip. ironically , the toyota ended up in my track t , and one of my anglia's had a big block chev and the other was a boring old sbc..... would probably still do a small 9x28 slick 4 banger anglia for a drag car ... one thing , my tube ch***is one had the tires under stock width fenders , and was nowhere near as stable as my "so called g***er" version with the wheels and tire hanging out.

 

I've got a 48 Anglia and a shop load of parts, 2.3 turbo injected T-Bird motor with a 5 spd. I plan on a good handeling streeter, just hope I live long enough to get somewhere with this project. It's been on the list to be next for too long.

 

Gotta be a g***er! put some 285-70s on the back. They look good but still leave you room inside the car. I've got them on my Willys, which is my driver, with 10 inch rims and everybody thinks its prostreet til they look in back.
