Re: Zel's Fleet Blog...Citroen, Mercedes, Sinclair & AC Model 70

Could I respectfully suggest that we keep discussion of the pandemic away from Zel's car blog thread? At least let's do it on an off-topic thread, or preferably not at all.... Cheers! Slap on the wrist respectfully received Luxo! :lol: Are you enjoying the Anglia thread? @Zel, Does the Merc have to...

Re: Zel's Fleet Blog...Citroen, Mercedes, Sinclair & AC Model 70

Not to derail this thread and go down that rabbit hole, but what on earth is going on in the UK at the moment? I'm hearing from some family that they are going into ANOTHER lockdown due to Omicron, a strain that has lower severity of symptoms and hasn't caused a single death yet? Things are far from...

Re: Ford Anglia 106e (LHD) Estate - Now in the USA!

Managed to get some dad free time on Sunday morning and got tucked into cleaning up the front end. Before: https://i.imgur.com/j5X7vFb.jpg After: https://i.imgur.com/lSBJTEi.jpg Required nothing more than some hot soapy water, rubbing compound and elbow grease! This car really is super clean and ama...

Re: Ford Anglia 106e (LHD) Estate - Now in the USA!

Waiting for some parts to come over from the UK, but I did find a company here that supplies SOME parts, so bought some oil filters ready for the new year. I'll be changing the oil again to flush out the last of the crud in the sump, and changing the diff/gearbox oil. After I've changed the crank se...

Re: Ford Anglia 106e (LHD) Estate - Now in the USA!

Well it's official, I got the new title and number plate today! https://i.imgur.com/rzkynBv.jpg I'm not waiting for parts from the UK before I can do much else aside from the light tinkering. I did have an issue a few days ago when we had a nice day and the garage heated up and it started pushing fu...

Forgot to add I did an oil change on my daily. Not the worst I've ever done but it was considerably messy!

Re: Ford Anglia 106e (LHD) Estate - Now in the USA!

Wednesday was my last day of work before Thanksgiving, and I had to pop into work to check on an engine build (I work at Cummins) so I decided to take the Anglia. I did 52 miles! After work I took it to a jetwash to clean the underside, and it came out pretty good: https://i.imgur.com/rTYkiTs.jpg ht...

Re: Ford Anglia 106e (LHD) Estate - Now in the USA!

Getting ready for thanksgiving here, so have family down for that. I took time to swap the instrument cluster over to an MPH one. I tried to get the odometer wound back to the correct mileage but the closest I got was 41k (should be 39 ish K) https://i.imgur.com/ogtCG3K.jpg Interestingly you can act...

Re: Ford Anglia 106e (Estate) - Now in the USA!

The weather is holding for now, we are getting frost in the mornings but they haven't salted the roads yet so I'm trying to get as much use out of the Anglia as I can. I decided yesterday to take it on a run to the tip to dump some cardboard off and ventured about 10 miles from home then came back. ...

Re: Ford Anglia 106e (Estate) - Now in the USA!

SUCCESS! I went to the DMV first thing this morning so was first in line. By remarkable luck the lady I dealt with was the lady who deals with all the import paperwork at that office. Conversation went like this: Me: Hello, I have imported a car and need to get a title Her: Ok, that's a lot of paper...
