an old friend of mines had one with a 12A. it was a fun car to drive. another friend is contemplating the idea also. if your good at welding/making things you should have no problem. it cant be any harder than the project going on at my house.

Buddy and I did one with TII motor. One thing though vibrates like crazy in third gear. I think the angle of the drive train is not constant so therefore we have to come up with a way of dropping the motor a little more either by making a custom oil pan or by custom front crossmember. The car has been parked since late spring 2002 and I think he wants to sell it. It's a '86 SR5 with Ground control coilovers in the front, mustang 5.0 rear,TRD rear springs, Addco F/R swaybars and custom ladder bars. The car is very clean. I'll post some pics as soon the weather improves and I can get over there to take them.

Man thats a Ford Anglia. I haven't seen one of those in quite a number of years. That's very rare and in that condition. WOW!!! You might find one in the Carribean (one of the islands) or PR.

Yeah, I'm in Brooklyn. You know I don't miss Pan-American in Atco or the events at Englishtown. Basically the shows are in the summer months with the english cars but as soon as something comes up I'll let you know and hopefully see you there.

I dont know any sites.....but I have seen one in person. Before I seen the motor, he tried to race me on 8th street and 107ave lol. he thought he was big and bad with a streetported 12a in his 86 sr5. I have to admit his car sounds very nice and moves nice. He told me he had a streetported 12a, headers, msd 6a, etc...I told him mine has some headers and a good clutch lol. Light turns green and I spike to 14lbs in my Gsl-se lol that was a good moment.
