Windscreens are fairly easy to get new, I got a heated one from ricky evans motorsport, just over £300.

You've got even more of the things than I do!

Welcome back Adrian.

So sorry to hear of the tragic loss of your son at such a young age - it's impossible to imagine what you must all have gone through, my sympathies to you and all your family.

Good to hear though, that you are now determined to get back to working on your "inventory" of FB's :clap:

I'm sure we are all eager to learn of your progress (with plenty of pictures!).

On the windscreen question, I sourced one about 8 years ago, direct from Pilkington (model 5115 for a series 2). Can't remember how much it cost, but around the £200-£250 mark I seem to recall. Not sure if they are still available, but I note they are still listed on their Classic Car website: https://www.pilkington.com/en-gb/uk/aut ... make=mazda

Hi Adrian,
Is there not a code sticker on the underside of the bonnet ?
(Small silver sticker)
Cheers Steve.
