Well this is my dads custom 1961 ford anglia pick-up truck. It started life in 1961 as an estate anglia and 20 or so years later someone converted it into this.

Its had several owners and is about 20 years old and the original bits like the cab are over 40 ('61) my dad then saw it on ebay and spent some cash on a new respray on the flames(this one not by me, im not that good!) and a rebuild of his 2.3L V6 colone, things like the chrome parts were redone and replaced, door handles were put back on as it had been modified to use solenoids and the door handles give it some origanllity and make it more pratical, as well as the mirrors, black no. plates, new windscreen/rubbers, chassis has been protected to ensure a long lifetime of crusin', and the bed was also checker plated.

My dad has called adam as it has a ring, 'adam the anglia', but my dad used to have a lotus 7 replica, and the person who brought it was called adam, and that money went into the anglia to help make it look like it does now.

Then adam had a LSD in the back from a 4:4 to 3:7 and from a 4 speed box to a 5 speed box, this was then rebuilt so more of the power and relibilty are used/kept
When the converstion of this truck took place, the person who did it took the leaf springs off the old car and put them on the truck as well as springs and shocks on the back, making it super hard, this made it very uncomfortable, sposeably for towing, which it has done and it still does (only small things) but it's now got a bit more give in it and it sits lower giving the truck a more aggressive stance

The back section/bed of the truck tips up on hydrolics, this was done when it was converted to give it a more custom sense

This is the flame job, it was quite expensive, but worth it in the end, as you can see. It was done by ray 'the spray' at R&B autos, he didn't actually make that much out of it in profit terms, but he said he loved painting the anglia
