Anybody seen this car and/or have any thoughts? I don't necessarily want to waste the owners time or mine driving to San Diego (I think the car is there). I have seen it for sale for literally years, more pictures online if you search, so apparently the first thing is the price is too high. My biggest problem is I am 6'3" with a long torso. Would I fit in this thing? Aren't Anglias a bit tall inside, even though this one is a bit chopped? Could the seat be lowered a bit for more headroom, or is it going to hit the driveshaft tunnel? The tilt body is cool for working on it, but I would use the doors to drive it. (I frequently race alone). Could I get in? Would the frame obviously not certify by looking at it, or does somebody know the steel is too thin to certify? Other pictures online show it pretty slammed in the front. I prefer a gasser style look. Any ideas how I could weld leaf spring mounting points and a straight axle? I know many won't like this, but I would just put a mild SBC in it and run D gas, E gas, Hot Rod, and brackets. Just looking for a cool, easy to operate runner that is easy to get in/out of the trailer, and doesn't weigh a lot for towing purposes. (although I do have a max car height limit of 62" to get in my small trailer). This car is obviously a huge project, so I don't want to waste my time on a car that won't ever be worth anything. I already know of 3 very nice Anglias ready to run for sale for around $25K
