Letting people know where you are will help you locate the parts needed. I know the Australian MV scene and there is still a lot of Blitz stuff around and many collectors will gather anything useful rather than let the scrappies have it. By the way, welcome to the forum! regards, Richard Quote

Richard Farrant Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 Hahaha I'd love to be in nz or ozz,England, Easy mistake to make as they are universally referred to as a Blitz in Aus, whereas over here we generally call them a CMP. Someone has seriously messed with the front panels! Is this because it has been fitted with a larger engine? Quote
Blitzlar Posted August 3, 2016 Author Posted August 3, 2016 (edited) No I think they have rotted off,and they have had some custom front panels made up,there not to clever!! The engine is a industrial ford 4 d (fordson major) which I will leave in,could really do with a good second hand front section,what foes cmp stand for? Edited August 3, 2016 by Blitzlar Quote

Starfire Posted August 4, 2016 Posted August 4, 2016 We have a complete, NOS front panel for a Cab 13 Ford at the museum. If you're interested, I can enquire about it for you. Cheers, Terry Quote
