I had my Anglia headlight reflectors rechromed. Not cheap (about £50 for 2 x 7" dia) but well worth it. I'd be tempted to have the pair done unless the other side is mint. Another trick often used is to paint the inside white.

Not the best but cant find a pic of that one BUT Milners coupe (the yellow one) in American Graffiti was fairly cool. Along with Falfa's (Harrison Ford's) 55 Chevy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWWI34ZRVxI

I did a 17 in my 2l 16v, think it was 17.8. I was using one of them gtec things on the road mind. 1st gear just span. Ran a 15.1 in my Anglia at avon park. I was being harsh with it, suprised it still ran after because it didn't smell to good inside.

I wouldn't call him a hot rodder. It just looks the same to me as all his other recent work. Like that Bently for example. He's got talent when it comes to fabrication (even though i heard someone else does that he just designs it) but it needs to be used other ways.

My hotrodded Anglia, I bought it when i was 16 as just a rolling shell. It's not that comfortable to drive but the looks you get on the motor way and the people leaning out their window with the camera phones make up for that (a lot of people have pics of the car with me making daft faces). Other than that the Austin Metro i had when i was 17 was fun. Apart from me having to change the clutch cable every week.

I have a 2.9 engine in my Anglia, They're a nice strong motor and can shift if you want them to. Have a look at the cylinder heads, if they have the letter K cast into them it's an ex police car (unless they've been changed). The 2.8 manifold will fit so you can use a 38dgas/40 downdraught carb. I had to scrap all the 2.9 ignition when the carb went on and now run a 2.8 dizzy with a modified bottom to suit the gear on the 2.9 cam. All the covers on the engine are alloy and polish up real nice.

Bet you never sounded smug at all on the phone to your insurers.

1935/36 was definitley Fords best years! I could stare at that all day. Have to build me a rat rod next though, thanks for the porn beeftech.

:lol:

I am starting to like that colour a lot now. Welcome

Yep! I cant see the last few pics, Did you have any trouble with the shell twisting when you cut all that floor out?

My milkman used to be Ernie, and he drove the fastest milk cart in the west.

Not really into Ferraris but that is a good looking car, even if the interior does look like a big playstation.

A bloke at work had one and i herd he paid 1500 for a cambelt change!!!!

Drive chain? Never had mine replaced! Better go see VW

I made some stickers up at work saying TWAT on a yellow background (same as the rear number plate). If someone parks to close i stick one on the bottom of the plate and they never know! edit: twit = tw@

Followed one of these once, untill we got on the motorway. It looked the same but had a 3.5 rover v8 in it.

just curious but why use a chevy engine instead of keeping it all ford... i would have thought to use a terminator engine... (i.e. from a 2003 and 2004 Mustang Cobra) see page 3 to see the car they were put in... here's an engine shot from my car when it was stock i figured if he's running a vette engine it's probably a newer one to make it worth while eh? so if that's the case he's probably still running some sort of engine management... please don't get offended by this i am just curious, if you come back i would like to know what engine he actually put in the 36... LS6? LS2? would be quite amazed if it had an LS7 i'm not gonna lie... The Chevy engines look a lot nicer and parts are well cheap. Not many people use Ford engines. It's an old 50/60's engine. You go for looks rather the economy in a hot rod. If you open the bonnet and see a load of wires it kinda ruins it.

I've done it on my Anglia before and know people who have never had a bonnet on their hot rod. None of them have been pulled over for it.

Driven - The ol' mans 5.7 corvette powered 1936 Ford Owned - 2.9 52 Anglia (still own) Been in a fiberglass 32 Ford roadster with a chrysler hemi (about 8ltr) motor dropped in it. Wet my pants like a little boy! You couldn't move in the seat when he floored it, stuck solid! A guy at work took me out in his Corvette too but i felt safe in that so it wasn't as much fun.

cheers Jim,

Jim, Thats the one, i get nothing at all apart from the humming noise. The switch did cross my mind. Last week i opened the windows about half hour before i went home one day and it was fine. Supercharged, Dont they usually tick like mad when they are stuck? I did beat it a few times but nothing changed.

Been fine today. That time of the month maybe?
