Any Anglia cars or projects out there?

Anybody doing anglia's or other british cars? Here is mine... I built the frame narrowed the 9 inch rearend and everything else to it. Have a SBC in it with a turbo 350. At the paintshop right now waiting for 13 months as of now for the paintjob!!!

 

My friend is working on this Contemporary Fiberglass bodied Thames. He rarely visits the H.A.M.B. so I'll post for him (he is GlassThames Doug on gasser madness)
I understand this car came out of the same mold as "King Kong".

 

I am looking for a set of spindles and wishbiones off one if anyone has them laying around.

 

You might want to go to Gasser Madness and send a PM to GlassThamesDoug I remember seeing a complete Anglia front axle assembly including radius arms (drilled axle) at his place.

 

A buddy of mine is restoring the Stickel & Riffle / Rod Shop Anglia. The paint and interior are finished and he hopes to have the drivetrain done by early summer. He plans to have the car at the Goodguy's PPG Nats in Columbus, Ohio in July. The car was repainted by the same guy that originally painted it for The Rod Shop. He used the same patterns, colors, etc. (even the gold leaf lettering was duplicated like it was in the 70's). He hopes to race the car in nostalgia classes next year.

Mine, haven't started on it yet, but it won't be a gasser, that's for sure...



Most likely it'll get a 2.3 and a 5 speed. It'll be the get around town ride...

 

Here's my Pop/Anglia ute.

 

Here is a Prefect that is very nice. Actually it is for sale also. Fatman Mustang tubular front end with disc brake's, 9 inch ford rearend narrowed to 41 inch's 3:50 ratio, 4-bar suspension with coil-over's, New long block 302 motor with edelbrock intake and carb,wilwood master cyclinder, C4 transmission with lokar shifter, I-did-it sterring column, autometer gauge's, vintage air and heat, walker Z series radiator with shrord and electric fan, radio with c.d., 40 channel c.b. radio Base coat clear coat viper red paint All custom interior. 700 mile's on since restro.

 

tell him to change those wheels..... and he should have painted it green ...hahaha it did turn out nice....got pictures of it somewhere on my computer... brandon (the guy he called about some parts for it...)

 

Hey Brandon,

I agree on the wheels! A few of us have tried to get him to put a set of Crager s/s wheels on it. Thanks for posting the pics of the car with it's green color scheme......I had never seen it that color. Actually, some of us tried to get him to use the final Rod Shop (red/white/blue) scheme, but he went with the Stickle & Riffle / Rod Shop version. Got to give credit, Tony probably saved the car from being parted-out (or worse). It will be great to see it going down the track again!

Here's a Prefect that "Dennis the Menace" is putting together. Two 350 Chevys in line....steering it from the back seat.

He also has a stocker....10 hp ?

 

Here is my '59. It was my first car that I bought when I was 13. Me and my dad built the whole car.

 

dauber and bill tried to tell him the same thing...benny emailed me shots of the car...turned out super nice.....actually waaay nicer than it ever was.....keep pushing him on the cragars.....brandon

 

Here is a pic of the Anglia I sold last year and a pic of my other English project.

 

My ´48 Anglia is still resting. I´ve been collecting parts but perhaps I´ll sell the whole project. There's just no sense building a car like that here in my country because you are pretty much forced to use a tiny motor in it. Maybe I could build it just for race but that's not really my thing. Well we´ll see what happens, it´s a nice car though. Thanks for an inspiring thread! Keep ´em coming!

This is my van as raced 12 months ago

 

All you Anglia/Pop/Thames guys might want to check out my old workin' buddy Dean's website, <www.angliaobsolete.com>
He and I used to work at a VW magazine together, but don't let that stop you- he has a really nicely restored '54 Prefect, an old Gasser Anglia, and an all-original Thames, plus, the guy has parts for them... his garage is FULL of 2-hole grilles, fenders, etc etc. He's been to England and New Zealand on his travels to get English Ford parts, and he lives in North San Diego County.
Tell him the editor formerly known as "kaferdave" sent you

for some reason, the website didn't come though- let's try this again- www.angliaobsolete.com

 

I sent him some hard to find left over factory parts he needed for a restoration after I hacked up my ute.

 

This is what I use to get to work most days:



It's running a hot rebuilt sidevalve motor (I did a build diary on here a while back) and 12 volts but is otherwise stock. It's a lot of fun to drive

I used to run a stock '62 2 door, with the wheezing 1172cc sidevalve lump, and I regret selling it.
A pretty good four door was towed away from the car repair shop opposite my work yesterday, I'd been meaning to ask about it, too late now!

Jonny69's engine rebuild is the stuff of legend, real kitchen table and what comes to hand building. I hope to see it next Tuesday, back at the Ace.

 

That's a hint if ever I heard one

Won't be able to make it next week. I need to put a new clutch in and Tuesday nights is when I see my friend with the big lathe. He's going to shave a bit of weight off my spare flywheel for me, it's basically a flat disc so we might as well go crazy on it!!!

 

too many burnouts jonny!!!
