You must be spewing about that - at first glance it would appear to be a far superior FB :D :D :D but some unfortunate EK owner has tried to upgrade to "keep up with the Joneses" :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Long time no post. Initially a busy little beaver finding a few bits-n pieces for the FEBK (it now has a name - even if it is unpronounceable, except if you're Polish) such as EK parkers and bonnet mould, rear window glass set with separators and sundry bearings etc., had to pick up a complete FB x-member to get a pair of hubs as well. It's back on 4 wheels again even though the 4th tyre has a hole in it the size of a fork lift tine (thanks to an enthusiastic former owner 'helping' by getting it out of the shed to make it easier for the towie).
Unfortunately it's not going to be the project I envisioned for myself. Age, health and finances are against me even with all my good intentions, bugger it, I guess the next step is to offer it for sale (reluctantly) so if anyone has any idea what it's worth I'd appreciate their input.
