Heo, looks like u got a bonus spare top with the deal too!  Is the existing top rusted?  If so, it might take an extra weekend or two...  ;)

Progress on the Anglia is slow ,I have bought some
missing parts and .....thats about it
The second roof is from a Volvo Amazon.I just put it
on to protect it from raining in to the car.
I found out the Crown on the Amazon roof is right
for making a filler piece for where the Anglia had
a soft top
I guess your right Jay it needs a blower since its
such Heavy car ;D
I may end up with a whole months work ;)

Any pics of your  Anglia Gord ?

Hmmm, the rear wheel looks a little skinny for the FE power not much traction potential! But seriously I always wanted to put a FE in a Anglia but never found one I could aford.
