Anglia 105e project
Evening all, I'm fairly new on here but I also own a Mk1 Fiesta that I have restored to use as my daily so have slight experience.
I collected an Anglia 105e today from Luke via the forum, so thought I'd create a thread for the car. My thoughts are either a 1700 xflow or 2.0 Zetec lump, and to hill climb or have it for track use.
I began stripping it today and sorting out what will be needed, the body work does not seem too bad so far with hardly any new panels needed which is a bit of a result.

Anglia 105e project
Only a small update this week, cut off the front end due to having too much rot to feasibly sort out.
I've started to design up a spaceframe type front end that will weld onto a full cage, hopefully cutting down on costs (£300 for an inner wing!) as well as stiffening the front end up a bit.

The bulkhead and front floor pans were next to go, leaving in a couple of bits of chassis so the shell doesn't deform quite as much during storage as well as the soda blasting booked for January
Got some box section for the chassis, as well as a rear Diff and shafts from a Sierra Cosworth to incorporate into the new chassis/IRS design. Thanks for looking

Dedication is what you need, if you want to be a record breaker.
Not doing anything by halves, are you?

Thanks for all the comments, there's not too much to update due to university work, I've now cut all of the tubing to length ready to weld up for the chassis. Had a little practice today, having never properly welded before, especially on 3mm thick tubing.
Hopefully more to update by monday

I managed to weld up the base of the chassis this afternoon as hoped, the welds weren't particularly clean looking but the penetration is all there so I'm happy.
Next up is to do a bit more to the chassis, buy a full weld-in cage, and make the rear subframe for the Escort Cossie diff

Re: Anglia 105e project
Not being funny but if you've never welded thicker metals, a spaceframe chassis might not be the best thing to start on. If you're contemplating a chassis, build a jig which is plumb and level in every plane and build your chassis off of that. A couple of RSJ's work great and will stop the chassis distorting under welding. You also want to triangulate / gusset wherever practical

Re: Anglia 105e project

Re: Anglia 105e project
You know what pees me off about Anglias? The fact they have adjustable door hinges! and then Ford went and got rid of them for the Escort!!
Nice work with the box section though :-)

Re: Anglia 105e project
think he got around to weighing it all , frightened himself & stuck it in the corner.
Could it be just another unfinished project ?
Prob weighed twice as much as an escort ?
