Marty's '62 Anglebox 1600 Twin-Cam

This is my $50 Anglia i bought 2yrs ago, it was running fine but not very fast as the rear drums had seized solid from 8yrs of living under a tree at a place called Angle Park, north of Adelaide. I have stripped it to a rolling shell and found many, many holes where metal used to be, mainly the rear panels.
I have modded a Escort x/member, rack and struts to fit, here is some pics



I removed the std Anglia dash panel for favour of the Escort RSmk1 dash to be fitted later.


The Escort x/member modded slightly to fit.


This motor is a Duratec 1600 from a Fiesta, all alloy


These wheels are the real deal, ultimate rally rims, Revolution 4 spokes 13x7 from UK, i have 6 of them

Ah the old Angle Box, i have fond memories of these cars.

Looks like this one is going to be exceptional Marty

I'm trying to keep this a 'budget' build but its happening...the gearbox is a close ratio unit from a Capri 1600GT and the diff will stay anglia with maybe a Quaife LSD 3.77-1, i picked up this week($800)! Escort Coil over fronts, vented disks+ Wilwood 4pots and a bias pedal box !!
The shell has some scary rust in places, will see how bad when i take it to the grit blasters....might be left with a few kilo's of metal which once resembled a 105E !!

Pheeew, that looks like a lot'a work!

Hope she's not too bad after blasting, my current Mk2 Esky looked really solid 'till I had it blasted. [88][B)]

woah! those are some big holes in that boot floor!!

that rail across the back where the bumper bolts into started to disappear off mine when i started to buff back the paint, i got a square one folded up in the press at work, won't have the nice curves in it but i think once its welded in and finished and painted you would never know unless you parked it next to another one.

Finally painted the struts in Mandarin (Ford BA), miss-tint color i got cheaply




The inserts are Jappa, Tokico's..., they were in the struts and are fine , way better than Monroe's!

Thanks Hak, the struts are from a 1600 mk2 Escort. I'll be using lots of Escort parts in this build , wiring loom, dash, fuel tank(maybe). I'm deciding on calipers to use, either Volvo's which i need to space out for venteds or Wilwood, which also need spacing and mounts to adapt!

Wilwoods weigh 1/4 of Volvo's

Ive had the rotors sitting about for 10yrs, time to use them

Thanks Paul
I reckon so, Wilwoods it is then...Volvo's have been done to death!
