I am thinking of selling the FB due to a house move and needing cash, if i dont have to i wont but just seeing if anyone is interested here that would keep this going as i have done a stack of work to it
Its a 1985 FB with V5 present
last on road in 1996
full custom bodykit professionally fitted
original glass moon roof
Ford 2.8i V6 engine transplanted into it with custom mounts etc and custom painted with 5 speed series 9 gearbox, engine running before fitting
All underside mainly original and undersealed - one chassis rail has been welded up
all new steering ball joints fitted
awaiting front calipers back from fully reconditioning
brand new windscreen made by pilkingtons and fitted
almost everything has been purchased to finish it completely so its just a case of time and effort
most of wiring is complete for engine
It currently needs, engine ancillaries fitting and engine starting up, pipe made for fuel line from 6 bar racing pump to injection system, new brake hoses, propshaft removing and approx 20-25mm removing from length at engineering workshop, brake discs need linishing and new pads and new brake lines, pedal assembly fitting and cooling hoses, small hole i found in wiper motor tray welding up to seal it
the project will come with almost everything else it needs and also everything of any use i have removed from it,
2 new slimline fans, complete original interior, ford radiator and adapted mounts, new belts, new clutch and speedo cable, carbon panels that were going to replace center console for switches, 2 new ford down pipes that fit perfect lots of used parts ive purchased like wiper and headlight motors, scuttle cover, seat runners etc
probably spent around £1,500 on it so far so not much more to buy

Re: guaging interest selling fb project
Shame to see it come to this as, like you said, you've come so far and not a whole lot to go.
I know time is hard to get sometimes, but I for one say stick with it - will be a neat car once complete

I do want to finish it but got a house move on the cards and possibly nowhere to store it
