Welcome Anglianut. Not enough money has always been a problem for me, too. The good part is, lack of funds forced me to learn to do almost everything myself. The only thing I don't do on my cars is the machine work on the engines and the upholstery.

Twenty-some years ago, before Mustang II stuff was common, I built a rolling chassis for a friend's Anglia. I used the complete front end assembly out of an MG Midget. It was the perfect width for the Anglia, had all the good stuff (disc brakes, R&P steering), and it was bolted in. I fabricated matching brackets on the new frame so it bolted in there, too...
