Yeah, keeping this jony, i like it too much to get rid!
The Fez was bought from mostly the money from breaking the RS, and its only £150 fully comp for me and the missus on a classic policy.
The fista is a bit of fun really and the prices are going up. So come winter i'll take it off the road an either store it, or Zetec it.
But if i get a good offer i'd sell it!!

I just got standard alloy vent from builders merchants , stuck it in, a bit of filler round the edges and lots of sanding so you cant see the seam

Re: Escort Surf bus
Finally got my bonnet painted and fitted and to say i'm not exactly a bodyshop guy i'm well happy with it. I didn't do the painting but did all the filler work and prep so i got a cheap(er) paint job
But please ignore the off colour wing and gaps, i'd only just fitted it
and one of the painted back spats
