The Anglia was bought from the proverbial little old lady in Queanbeyan,for
the sum of $50 in the winter of 1976.It was taken to a workshop in Fyshwick
where it was stripped down and a new chassis built for it. It was fitted
with a celica 1600 four cylinder/5 speed combination with torana rear end
and torana front end. It then came home so I could start the body work,which
took about a year or so. The front and rear guards where widened 4" to
cover 14x 8 hurricane mag wheels, the bonnet was louvered by my self using
an old electrical box. The dash was made using a datsun 240k instrument
panel and a celica steering colum, seats where torana with a home
made rear seat. It was painted nutmeg brown and white with
a tinted perspex roof. The car was registered in September 1978.
