Finished Project – Kris’ V8 Anglia

It’s that time of year again where we like to get some jobs out the door. While we haven’t made all our deadlines this year, we did manage to get this one out the gate today.

Kris brought his 1967 Anglia to us back in March. His first car was a 105E, and he told us he wanted to make this one a V8. It was one of those “Yeah, no problem. Shouldn’t take much!” kind of conversations, and, well, here we are! Nine months of work and many invoices later, Kris has his wish. Here are some specs on this little weapon we’ve named ANGRIA!
