Having welded a few old cars in my time I once did a Triumph 2500 in this condition, it took me 4 years just to do all the body. They are a Labour of love but it depends how far you are prepared to go.
My first car back in 1967/8 was a very rusty base 1962 105E - both front wing tops had already been mostly eaten away, someone had pop riveted crudly shapped tin wing tops over the almost none esistent originals and the clutch sounded like a bag of rusty nails but the engine & gearbox were strong - lots of teenage fun was had with that car !
From across the pond: As my former body man say's "putty and paint, will make it what it ain't." My first hall-a-way was a 25 yr. old '39 Chevrolet 4 dr. salon, with vacuum assist shift. Cheers. Narragansett Bay
Great cars,l had a 1963 Anglia 117e 1200cc,bloody great,used to go like the clapper's,once you got it started,thank Christ' for the manual choke👍😊❗..l remember they used to be called Dagenham dust bins😮
My dad had one of these as his first car. Even at 4 years old i could remember the distinctive smell inside. It was the same colour too. That was back in 1968. Don't time fly !!!!
Look at that! It was my first car too. Father bought it for me to go to University, don't remember the year but probably very early car because it was repainted already. Horribly slow but cool in a weird way. Many friends with "cool" cars angry at me because my girlfriend was stunning and they could not understand how in the world I got her!!
Some very useful parts and possible workshop wall art, at least it will donate most of its parts to keep others on the road. Goes to show how ford used to over engineer cars in the fifties, with that lack of actual metal its quite amazing how the drive train is still attached.
This takes me back to when I was 18 years old, now 69. I had a pale blue one with I think blue interior. I know my dad replaced the cam shaft. but it was a good car. Mick
My grandmother had one of these brand new (estate version). I can still remember riding in it late 60’s/early 70’s. They came from the factory already rusty I think. Worth a fortune e now though fully restored. Tempting to restore ?.
The car must be way older than that, nearer 60 years ago. That model of Ford Anglia ended in 1967. The reg plate says "D" as a suffix and that would be first time round. making it 1966. My Anglia van was "A" reg. 1963, though the A was not issued until well into the year whilst the DVLA used up remaining number plates.
HOOOLY COWWW.😱.. How incredably rotten she is... Still holding both axles and engine which is not blocked... It's a miracle you managed to get her up to replace the wheels really... I'd say some 60% of here is completely gone... Please do try to save her... She's deserve it because up untill now she's been keeping up somehowe for so long...
My dads first car was an Anglia estate: 903 ADL in 1971. My brother had an estate too: FLT306C and guess what? I had a Anglia too! KDL 794F in 1982 which had the 1200 engine and was a blue saloon .
Death traps when you consider today´s cars. No safety provision at all and I had to fit seat belts in my van. The steering column was solid, no collapsible sections. The brakes were drum brakes though better than those in the Morris minor of that era.
Slight bit rust I can see . Shell we say it's well used. When are you collecting the rest can't wait to see more. What was the music you played when changing the wheels really liked that.
When I was about 4/5yrs old, my dad had a light blue Ford Anglia. He traded it for a new Triumph 1300, also in light blue. The Triumph suffered a problem, the front end started to crack and break off. He got rid of that and bought a Rover 2000 P6, it was like a mid blue colour. It was hard on tyres so he got rid of that and bought a white Ford Corsair when I was about 7yrs old. The Ford was traded for a Jaguar 420G, and WHAT fantastic a car that was!
Had a few of these back in early 1970’s. Pretty reliable cars but all of them had rust! So simple to work on, we changed engine to 1500cc and changed front brakes and suspension to Ford classic (disc brakes), with wider wheels they looked OK. It was still just a Ford Anglia! So narrow and cramped. Without something done to suspension they would lean like a boat around corners. I was so pleased to upgrade to Cortina mk2.
One of these was my first car, DLM166C...gave it away after only one year as it wasn't going to pass its next MOT. Should have kept it, be worth a fortune now 😢😢😄😄
Mine was a van version and my first car. It was only 24 months old but already rusting in places. I paid £80 for it, used it for two years, did 18,000 miles then sold it for £110. Next up I bought a nearly new VW 1300 Beetle. A great car but less practical as unlike the van which could ne used as a metal tent for climbing weekends in the UK, with the VW I actually had to get out and pitch a tent in bad weather rather than climb into the back and sleep on the floor.
Greetings from Scotland! Oh my poor old Angular! My first car in 1970 was an old Anglia 998cc 105e reg. BHB 804. My Uncle died and he left it to me in his will, so I went to get it and found it was abandoned at the bottom of an old scrap tip! My brother said "Forget it!" but I was determined to have that car! I was only 16yo at that time so I had a year before I could get my licence and I thought it would make a good project. I was already indentured as an apprentice HGV mechanic at a main Ford dealers since I turned 15yo so I had plenty of access to discounted parts. I replaced a lot of the underbody and rear chassis legs, apart from a few other cosmetic bits, I had a roadworthy car by the time I got my licence. I thrashed it mercilessly (I mean - 998cc - it HAD to be thrashed to get any sort of decent performance! 🤣🤣I eventually sold it to a young apprentice of mine and I upgraded to a 1200 Super! Reg. CHB 328D I had built a lotus twin cam 1558cc by then so it quickly had a heart transplant, a new GT gearbox and flared arches with suitable big rims I loved both of those old beasties! I wish I had kept the reg documents for the no. plate on the 1st one! It would look good on my BM 740D now!
By the look of it, there's not much to saved on that anglia. I bet the engine is solid also. Perhaps the gearbox, rear axle, dash clocks, and the vin plate could be saved.
I had one when growing up in England. The first on looked like most Amglias after only several years. Absolute junk. But great to see this guy picking them up. Good luck mate.
Im definetly going to do my best to get it running, as for driving that would be a challange ! We will do our best for you all... like and subscribe to be sure not to miss out.
@@RimsNPipes That would be brilliant to see her come to life one last time. Even just to move a few feet under her own power would be a glorious last hurrah. Seeing an Anglia so rotten still seems incongruous - I clearly remember 1966 cars in the showroom.
I dont think any panel is salvageable unfortunately. The dashboard should be good for wall art. Ive drilled all the spot welds out of one before and sold to a guy who put it in sit up and beg ford pop!😊
Well they say God loves a tryer so he must be well into you. I look forward to seeing how it progresses. Fortunately the other shell looks pretty good so I hope you manage to make it work. Vivian from The Young Ones had an Anglia. It was yellow with flames up the side.@@RimsNPipes
I will get it done asap for you, wish i could do it every day but this is just currently a hobby and having to work fulltime and having kids etc i dont get as much time as i would like ! Just keep an eye on the channel and it will be there soon. Sorry for the delay
I honestly, that for one dreadful moment, you were going to see if it starts. 😆 but wow, joke you cut a good deal gor. I mean what s car. Good luck MSN. No seriously. GOOD LUCK. 😀
It’s dun well a can remember when the use to look like that after a couple of years thankfully Fords rustproof got a lot better prof is my wife 2003 1.6 focus ebony with 67.000 on the clock she has had since new it has been look after and runs very well
I would to see someone do a video on a car like this and see if you reused everything and tried to repair it if you could do a cheap down and dirty cosmetic restoration and repair every panel instead of making panels out of metal just cutting out rust and welding pieces in place of it doing it quick and cheap with whatever leftover scrap pieces of metal you have from your previous weld repair products and see if you could bring a car like this back to somewhat decent state atleast the bodywork if nothing else
@@RimsNPipes are you going to rebuild that motor or fit a more powerful lump? (My friend fitted a reasonably stock 1600 cross flow with a downdraft webber in his and it still went pretty well - for not a lot of money)
