I\'ve been busy over the winter period refurbishing & reconditioning the underside of my Fb.It\'s been hard work,but i think it\'s worth it,the Fb\'s underside is now as good as it\'s bodywork.

me too!



did you take your photograph on my drive Stu?

Marcrs

they look stunning...the only black bits under mine are oil :(

It\'s good to see Fb\'s being restored to as new condition.
Seeing the work Ian has done & is still doing to his red & black Fb\'s,inspired me to do mine.
I\'m extremely pleased with the results,it\'s just a shame no one see\'s all the hard work & expense that\'s gone into it.

I should mention the main difference btw my work & Ian\'s,is that all the nuts & bolts are brand new from mazda on my car,where as Ian being a clever chap refurbished & zinc plated his own.
I\'ve also done the engine bay,all been refurbed & renewed,i\'ll get a pic up & see what u think?

fair play to you Stu, you took the time to fit air con as well. Top work.
I assume you were inspired by the guy in Sydney who restored his from the ground up?

Your\'s looks just as good though! Did it come from Jersey originally?

syebba

Haha Ian,
Our Fb\'s do seem to have a lot in common.
Yes my Fb was originally from Jersey & i changed my sterling into Jersey pounds to buy it.
Yes several sources of inspiration,obviously yours & the sydney resto,hopefully it\'ll inspire others to fully restore their Fb\'s to showroom standard.
