I know it's obvious, but keep an eye on ebay for the 12 Bore kit. Even if you see primered kits, check the seller's other items to see if he's got any more of your bits for sale. It'd be very easy to spray a kit back to primer to make it look new.

Wondered if you'd registered or not yet mate, haha.
Cheers for the heads up on here.
Just got a PM from a dude who reckons it may be down in farnbrough somewhere - like we viewed this morning.
If its dumped then i'll wait for it to get reported and picked up as I cant keep on going out and hunting for it :)

Cheers people
Scott.

EDIT: Ive fished out the most recent pictures for you to look at. This is exactly as it looked the day it was nicked.

Do you live on Braundton avenue by any chance? I recognise this car now if it the one. I will keep an eye out, if it is still being driven then no doubt it won't be difficult to spot - Hope it comes back to you and sorry to hear the bad news, i would be gutted.

Don't rely on it being reported too quickly. I see dumped cars all the time and you know full well that no one takes any notice. Chances are it will get robbed of everything half decent and burnt out before a local decides to phone the council. If you hear any information, then take the chance and try and follow it up because you never know :)

Gotta agree with the man!

Dont leave it on the chance some do-gooder will help you out without knowing. They're never around when you need em. If somebody thinks they may have seen it, take a chance and go and have a look :)

Yeah, true i guess. I'll be making enquiries about the car when i call a few farnbrough scrap dealers. Ive been told that someone saw it on the back of a recovery truck in that area, so im off to call a scrappie now and ask if they have had any fiestas in.
Do you live on Braundton avenue by any chance?

Yeah i do man. Where abouts do you live then; near me?

Thanks again ppl :)
Scott.

Ther's also that ZT's ( i think thats the name of it ) up towards swanley!

When I had a fiesta I went there for bits as there was always quite a few mk3s up there.

Its on the right along the main road towards swanley from the crittels corner tescos. :)

Hey people,
Thanks for the support :)
Ive phones and looked about all the places which have been suggested, though i havnt found anything. I really dont know what to do now but to canel my insurance and hoe it comes up somewhere soon.

Thanks for addinf it on Fiestaguides man - really cool site you have built there :D
Yeah i heard about that place down in swanley too. My mum went there and other places like star hill [which i think is in swanley too] but couldnt find anything.
Unfortunately, of all the mods I didnt do, was to put an alarm on it. Its kinda stupid when you think about it as its something you take for granted as you think its never going to happen to you!

Cheers people! :)
Scott.
