thanks for those kind words guys
The orange on my Mexico is Focus Electric Orange XR5(ST225), it will need a orange base coat to bring out the colour, would look killer on a Anglebox
Hak073, the main reason for the Twink flares is the Dattun had severe corrosion about the rears, we couldnt find anything new to use so i welded new steel in lipped it out and glued the arches on, then stuck fronts in the same way to match.

Nigel,
It was about 4wks ago that i got a 1ltr pot of Poison Ivy for the underneath the paint man told me it was still under prototype, when i got the 4ltrs it was in production...with different codes on the tin[:p], the inside is done in a Mazda6 Gunmetal Blue for a neutral interior effect!
About the Orange Mex, its under a car cover sleeping and not to disturb till ready, just to keep everyone hanging[88][88]

Thankyou Shane,, altho many have seen the orange beast and all have had the same reaction !!
Back to the Anglebox, i finally spent a day on the struts and they are built up ready for use..


The towers are from Compbrake in UK, the only place which i found to supply towers for Anglia(110mm) excellent quality with spacers ready to thread on...brilliant!


i purchased a set of Outlaw calipers, basically identical to Wilwood but a little cheaper.


Comparison next to a Wilwood..mounts, weight, pads, pistons all interchange....funny that !!



The Datsun will be out this wknd giving me space to motivate the Anglia again..
