[Jon100e]

Hi all, thought it was about time I posted some details about my project. Its a 1958 Anglia 100e. Bought it, drove it 250 miles home then started to take it apart.

Sitting next to my 1960 Pop 100e

Hi Jon, welcome to the forum. Good to meet you at the 127 Diner on Sunday. Looks like this could be a good regular meet for a lot of the Essex rodders.

Hi Jon

Anothe 100E, we will be taking over soon
love those rear wheels.

Brian

[Jon100e]

Done a little bit today. Pulled out the interior and removed all the old eyebolts that were fitted for harnesses (I presume). Pulled the rear part of the exhaust out as I'm going for side exit.

http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg158/jonlarkin76/006-5.jpg

The floor is covered in some sort of sound deadening. Any ideas on how to remove this so I can weld up all the holes?

Swapped over the rear shocks and mk2 escort hanger plates. The shocks are made for a mini so I need to get new bushes for the bottom.

http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg158/jonlarkin76/010-2.jpg

Once I get the bushes I can bolt the shocks into place. Need to pay some attention to the bodywork. The rear panel seems to have a bit of filler in it The worst part is at the rear of the n/s/r arch

http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg158/jonlarkin76/014-2.jpg

Got the repair panel for it already so should be able to get that done soon.

Borrowed these from Cossie Pop and quite like them. Torn between them and my banded steels. If I go with the alloys will need to get two more for the front ;)

Sorry Andy, sold the Dunlop alloys a while back.

Just bought a pair of front shocks. A pair of Billies converted to grp4 spec coil overs. Need a paint and a pair of springs.

[pilgrim]

I'll take you all on.

(obviously not really):(;)

[V8 100E]

nice :) what rear axle is it and are they 100e leaf springs ?

[Jon100e]

nice :) what rear axle is it and are they 100e leaf springs ?

It has a 105e axle and yes they are 100e leafs. At the moment it has 2" lowering blocks on it. Hoping to get 2 3/4" ones on there eventually

[GasolineScream]

Love the 100E's!! You have a PM

Ta Dan

[Lotus 300e]

Nice one Jon :cool:

[Jonny69]

Looks like a pretty good base. Is that a whole Escort front end under there? The engine is quite a way back, that's why I ask :)

[Jon100e]

Hi Jonny, yes its all escort front end. Don't think its any further back than usual. but could be wrong

[Jon100e]

Have chosen a colour for my wheels. Coral beige, normally found on a sierra. Will have them done properly soon.

http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg158/jonlarkin76/002-8.jpg

Removed some the sound deadening. Will add some more pics soon:D

[GasolineScream]

Jon

What are your overall plans for the car. Sell it me , i can have my wide arch 100E dream , bang on some 8x13's all round , some 40's and i'll go hill climbing! LOL you know where i coming from.

The rims are looking good mate , nice choice of colour . Is the car staying black??

Dan

[Jon100e]

Car is staying black. Was gonna do it panther black but may go with a shiney gloss black. Cream interior. Rear roll cage. Side exit exhaust. Sitting as low as possible. Drive it alot :D

[Lotus 300e]

That sounds like a good plan to me Jon, the wheels look great:cool:

[THE VIKING]

Wheels look good Jon but i would go with silver myself :)

[cossie pop]

hay you been playing nice out their today wheels look good like the possible new seats aswell ;)

[Jon100e]

Cheers Adrian. You've seen them too then :D

[Jon100e]

Collected my front seats on Saturday (thanks Radical)

Well happy with them.:D

http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg158/jonlarkin76/feb2009001-1-1.jpg

Picked up a bargain in the form of a set of Wolseley 16/60 gauges. Should go well with the cream interior.

http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg158/jonlarkin76/041.jpg

Bought a new four branch for the crossflow. Will need a bit of modding to fit.

Adie

[Jon100e]

Picked up a pair of front and rear bumpers with over riders. Thinkoing of painting them to match the wheels. Not got much done as have been busy with work.

[Jon100e]

Small update.

Have painted the bumpers and three bar grille to match the wheels (sorry no pics of the painted grille yet)

http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg158/jonlarkin76/002-13.jpg

http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg158/jonlarkin76/003-14.jpg

Got hold of a steering wheel from a 1300e escort. Made up a centre badge to match the 100e emblem.

http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg158/jonlarkin76/001-10.jpg

http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg158/jonlarkin76/002-14.jpg

Also got some trackday/road legal tyres that look very cool under the car.

http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg158/jonlarkin76/019-1.jpg

Have a few ideas that I'm going to keep a bit quiet for now but hoping they'll turn out well. Should be getting along next weekend so hopefully more pics to follow ;)

[cossie pop]

nice one john nice to seeit coming along plane sailing once you get that crap off the floor :D
adie

[Jon100e]

Had a big package arrive today. So tinkering and pics to follow this weekend ;)

[Jon100e]

Have got the suspension all fitted up and sorted the steering. The car sis a bit low at front for now. Will probably bring it up an inch. on the front I have 4.5" corsair gt wheels and on the back it will have 8" banded steels. Will get another pic of the car tomorrow when all four wheels are fitted. Can now get on with sorting the exhaust, bodywork and interior.

[Rover V8]

Hi Jon,

Nice build, seem to have missed this one up until now :confused: will be checking the progress out regularly now though, keep it coming.

BTW What was the big package that you where expecting :cool:

Cheers,
Mike C.

http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg158/jonlarkin76/82d6_1.jpg

i`ve got one of these sitting on the shelf in the garage i thought it was off a mk1 zodiac, as i got it from my old boss in with a load of mk1 parts when i had one.
Russ

[Jon100e]

Rover V8 - The big package I got was an original 60's Desmo roofrack that I've stripped down and am painting to match the wheels.

Russ - I think early Zodiac's had a similar bonnet ornament to the one fitted to the early 100e Prefect's.

Small update - Got the rear wheels fitted today. Had to remove the lip on the arch and mod the inner tub to accept the 8" wheel and tyre combo. May need to make the front wheels wider, 5.5/6". Maybe :confused:
