Same for me too.
I've been having a clearout in my garage, shed, warehouse and various lockups.
Now don't get me wrong, I like Fords.......... it's just that the ones I've owned have been really REALLY shit!
Anyway, my bag is 50's Yankee sheet metal, Minis (proper ones), old Mercs, BM's and at the moment, Pug 205 GTi's.
So I find myself with a few hard to find bits that might appeal to OSF members like trim, brightwork, interior trim and some Cosworth lights and mirrors. I thought (in my strange way) that I'd advertise them on here as it's probably most appropriate and the members would appreciate it if they were offered here first as I honestly can't see me using them any time in the future.
Even if that XR2 does turn up that I'd like these bits won't fit and sadly I can no longer afford the Escorts etc that they were once attached to.
But hey, like you say, your forum etc. It would've been nice to have somewhere where it said that newbies needed to post a minimum number of posts and how many.
Maybe then the OSF members would have first dibs on stuff which could be reasonably priced before I put them on Ebay and they go for daft money. I'd sooner have a quick sale to an appreciative enthusiast rather than stuff to (potentially) go to a dealer who knows exactly what they're worth.
Hey ho.
