not me keith as i know of a few, a red one like this one, near me for a bit less and just as tidy, no welding.
therefore if i end up going above £2000, i'll go check them out.

at the moment i'm busy finishing off my mx3, i have spent a good bit on getting the fuel system sorted out
thanks to rust etc. i will at some point return to looking at an fb when everything is sorted out and calm restored lol.

just goes to show though this will be the average price for a clean fb from now on as they are getting scarce.
people will just have to pay it, if they really want one. plus side is nothing to do bodywise.

How much would it cost to hire someone to slap the guy who put a piston in a 7?

lol, i log onto gumtree spy the fb and it's let's have a looksie, then read it and weep lol.
alot of money for a car to then take that engine out and put a 12a back in. what are those ford pinto engines out of
and what does putting something like that in do to the handling of the car. i remember something similar being put into an fc.

lots of adverts too, seems desperate to shift it on. wonder what is underneath that shiney paint job?
